Use api route in next build

[nihiluis]

I call an api route in my getStaticProps. How do I make sure the server is started which serves the api route? it's unreachable. I want to use next export later.

export const getStaticProps = async (ctx: NextPageContext) => {
  const res = await protect<AxiosResponse, AxiosError>(
    axios.get("http://localhost:3334/api/blogEntries")
  )

  let entries: BlogEntry[] = res.ok!.data

  return {
    props: { entries },
  }
}

I just found another issue and it seems it's not supported? How can I then access fs? I thought this was the supported way to do it.

nvm I found the solution here. sorry for the clutter. https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching

The Next docs say:

You should not fetch an API route from getStaticProps — instead, you can write the server-side code directly in getStaticProps.
