How to correctly configure Nginx for Node.js REST API?

Notice that you're requesting this:

https://example.com/api/users

But the error says this:

Cannot GET /users

So the /api prefix is being stripped off the request path before being passed to your Node server.

Which is done by this line:

rewrite ^/api/?(.*) /$1 break;

Solution: remove that line.
