fetch graphql data from nodejs to nextjs (SSR)-CodePudding

I have nextjs Project, where I use SSR for fetch data from nodejs(graphql) but it works only localhost(dev/production), When I upload the project on vercel I get "500: Internal Server Error", I will share my code and required details below:

I use "graphql-request" on Nextjs

import { gql, request } from "graphql-request";

export async function getServerSideProps(context) {

  const endPoint = "http://localhost:4000/";

  const query = gql`
    query {
      exactlyUser(id: "63c3cf0aea56b467893c92d3") {
        username
      }
    }
  `;

  const data = await request(endPoint, query);

  return {
    props: {
      data: data,
    },
  };
}

I also give you vercel Error:

CodePudding user response：

Seems like when you deploy the Next.js app to Vercel, the API is not accessible. This is the cause of the "500: Internal Server Error" you're seeing.

Try to change the API endpoint URL to the publicly accessible URL of your GraphQL API, instead of using "http://localhost:4000/". This should allow the Next.js app to fetch data from the API when it's running on Vercel.

Avoid hardcoding the API endpoint.
