Updated API docs to fix documentation errors on github pages which is the target of the documentation. The main culprit was not having cors enabled to handle the same origin policy of the browsers and making sure the docs pointed to the actual apis instead of localhost. With the koa-cors package now enabled this will work perfectly.

Cross Origin Resource Sharing if not enabled prevents calls to an api like ours if it is coming from outside the domain. This is specific to web browsers. We don't see it in our app being blocked because that is using electron. However, someone using chrome or firefox would be blocked by the Same Origin Policy all browsers enforce.
