What is Nuxt API Party?

Nuxt API Party is a Nuxt module for talking to APIs you don't control. You configure an endpoint once, and the module generates a pair of type-safe composables for it that behave like Nuxt's own useFetch and $fetch – while the credentials stay on the server and CORS never comes up, because every request travels through a Nuxt server route.

Generated Composables

Each endpoint you configure yields two composables, named after its endpoint ID.

A useFetch-like composable, for reactive data in components and pages:

// Endpoint `jsonPlaceholder` generates `useJsonPlaceholderData`
const { data, refresh, error, status } = await useJsonPlaceholderData('posts/1')

And a $fetch-like composable, for programmatic calls, form submissions and one-off actions:

// Endpoint `jsonPlaceholder` generates `$jsonPlaceholder`
const post = await $jsonPlaceholder('posts', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: { title: 'New Post', body: 'Hello World', userId: 1 }
})

Data Fetching Methods covers which to reach for.

What You Get

One server route in front of everything. Tokens and keys live in the endpoint configuration and never reach the browser – not through the network tab, not through the bundle – and because the browser only ever talks to your own origin, CORS never applies.

Nuxt's own patterns. Same return values, same options, same caching behavior as useFetch and $fetch – for any API.

As many APIs as you need. Each endpoint carries its own headers, authentication and caching, and gets its own pair of composables.

Types from your OpenAPI schema. Point an endpoint at a schema and request bodies, query parameters, path parameters and responses are all inferred. See OpenAPI Integration.

Caching and hydration. Payload caching keeps duplicate requests from going out, and server-rendered data hydrates on the client instead of being fetched again. See Caching Strategies.

Next Steps

• Getting Started – Install the module and make a first request.
• Data Fetching Methods – Choose between the two generated composables.
• Module Configuration – Every option an endpoint accepts.
