How to pass in data from Node JS Express with Ember-Ajax?

I'm working on an Ember website with a Node JS Express API. I'm using ember-ajax to connect to the API.

EDIT:

Ember version is 1.13

Ember Data : 1.13.15

The problem is Ember does the AJAX call as if it was directed towards localhost:4200 (Ember) when it should be sent towards localhost:9029 (Express). Of course, this throws a 404.

How do I make it so it sends the request to the API instead of itself? I've tried --pxy after ember s but that does not work. It seems like it's ignoring the files I created. I'm very new to Ember.

app/services/ajax.js

import Ember from 'ember';
import AjaxService from 'ember-ajax/services/ajax';

export default AjaxService.extend({
  namespace: '/api',
  host: 'http://localhost:9029',
  trustedHosts: [
    'http://localhost:9029',
  ]
});

app/routes/test.js

import Ember from 'ember';
import AjaxService from 'ember-ajax/services/ajax';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
    ajax: Ember.inject.service(),

    model() {
        return this.get('ajax').request('/gimmieDatDate', {method: 'POST'});
    }
});
