Cypress - test redirect - cypress

Question

I have a local endpoint that checks if I'm logged in and if yes, it generates token and redirects me to another API endpoint. I want to test the redirection however, I'm ending with the following error:
cy.visit() failed trying to load:
http://getmantaportal.test/authorize/
The response we received from your web server was:
> 403: Forbidden
This was considered a failure because the status code was not 2xx.
This http request was redirected '1' time to:
- 302: https://example.com/api/?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiL
Here is my code:
it('Redirect to Manta Edge if already logged in.', function () {
// Login first.
// [...]
// Go to the endpoint and get redirected immediately.
cy.visit('/authorize/')
cy.url().should('contain', '/api/?token=')
})
Thanks a lot in the advance.

Use nested cy.request calls, you'll need to know all redirects you will get to be authenticated.
See the hypothetical example below.
cy.request({
method: "POST",
url: `YOUR FIRST URL`,
headers: {},
body: {
username: YOUR_USERNAME,
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
},
}).then(function (response) {
var body = response.body;
cy.request({
method: "GET",
url: `YOUR SECOND URL`,
auth: {
bearer: body.access_token,
},
}).then(function (response) {
cy.request({
method: "POST",
url: `YOUR THIRD URL IF EXISTS`,
auth: {
bearer: body.access_token,
},
}).then(function (response) {
response.headers
// If necessary, get the cookies to finish the authentication
});
});
