Is it possible to serve uploaded image to a remote request? If so, how?

Hello,

I am trying to serve an uploaded image to an api that will return the image with a new filter on it. The api accepts remote URL format. So basically it is fetching an image from a given url. I tried using react-native-static-server to turn device into a temporary local server and serve the uploaded image. However, it is giving me an error and it does not seem to be a sensible approach. Does Expo API has capabilities relevant to this? I would very much appreciate words of advice or help. Thank you.
