✅ Frontend unable to connect to webapi when starting server manually (dotnet run)

When I run my C# Webapi project through Visual Studio Code debugger (or VS) then my reactapp can make a GET request to the webapi, however if I start up the webapi via cmd dotnet run and make a GET request I get net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

This is the output from VS Code when I start the webapi through the debugger.
 *  Executing task: C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe build C:\Users\Username\source\repos\Username\InsuranceCalculator/InsuranceCalculator.sln /property:GenerateFullPaths=true /consoleloggerparameters:NoSummary 

MSBuild version 17.6.1+8ffc3fe3d for .NET

  webapi -> C:\Users\Username\source\repos\Username\InsuranceCalculator\webapi\bin\Debug\net7.0\webapi.dll
 *  Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.


This is the output from cmd when I start the webapi through the cmd.
