How to access Dynatrace platform API from a synthetic browser test

Hi,

We're trying to build asynthetic browser test against a site that requires OTP.
As there is no direct API to get the OTP data from the provider we need to bypass it so we've created a "back door" workflow to extract it and generate a business event that will store the result. we now in the stage that we need to query it using DQL from the script but facing CORS error as the Dynatrace domain is different than the tested site.

we already know the great article from @HannahM however the current issue is how to avoid the CORS error when accessing the platform without signing in to the platform itself (as accessing the domain itself directly goes to the login page).

Any ideas?
Gil.

Does it matter that you only go to the login page? You could ignore the 401 error, if that's causing a failure, or is it that the login page is another domain so doesn't help?
