Cypress visit external site before running test

Some background: before loading my website I need to obtain an oauth token from a 3rd party provider. This requires visiting a new URL, entering in some test credentials, clicking sign-in, and then pulling the oauth token back. Once I have this oauth token I can then load our website and store it in localStorage and proceed with the test.

However, whenever I visit a page in cypress I then cannot visit any other domains or I receive a CORS error (seems this is intended by cypress). Is there any way to do this? Is there a way to visit a website one time before my tests run, login, and then run my tests?

Cypress does not support visiting different domains in one test. Instead of opening the page, use cy.request() to obtain needed token.
