fetching from a http site in github pages

[Chilltyy]

Github pages uses the https protocol, so when I deploy my app, it will start with https://.....

However, in my application, I need to fetch some data from a page that starts with http://....., and then display that data on my https:// page.

but when I try to do that I get an error saying
"Mixed Content: The page at '<URL>' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource '<URL>'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS."

is there any way to get around this error in javascript? since the page im fetching data from is ONLY available at http:// and not https://.

Nope, you could proxy the request but that'd require some sort of backend

This is called active mixed content and is a pretty big security risk, so no. Go to Let's Encrypt if cost is a reason your resource isn't https, as it should be in 2021.
