Could I ask you to clarify that, for someone not in the development loop?

Do you mean, use an API to backend B while your browser (presumably on a third host) is accessing 
the webapp on backend A?

Or do you mean that while your browser is accessing the webapp on backend A /nobody/ can use the API 
on any host?
