Got it fixed. Thanks @daveajones for helping me identify it.

The issue had to do with the fact that I was generating request headers on server startup and not for each separate request, as it should have been. 'X-Auth-Date' and 'Authorization' headers are time sensitive and have to regenerated for every request.

Here's updated code (I created a function to generate headers which I'm using in each request):

const generateHeaders = () => {
  const ts = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)
  const authString = `${API_KEY}${API_SECRET}${ts.toString()}`
  const authHeader = crypto.createHash('sha1').update(authString).digest('hex')

  return {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'User-Agent' : "AdamZ's homemade podcast-fetcher 0.01a",
    'X-Auth-Key': API_KEY,
    'X-Auth-Date': ts,
    'Authorization': authHeader
  }
}

server.post('/search/term', async (req, res, next) => {
  const headers = generateHeaders()
  const { term } = req.body
  const url = `${API_BASE_URL}search/byterm?q=${term}`

  try {
    const results = await fetch(url, { headers })
    const data = await results.json()
    res.json({
      message: `Podcasts by term: ${term}`,
      data
    })
  } catch (err) {
    next(err)
  }
})
