Overview

The Next Export API is an essential tool for developers looking to utilize Next.js API Routes on statically exported websites deployed through Netlify. This solution addresses the limitations of using Next.js API Routes in exported projects, making it easier to integrate serverless functions with a streamlined approach. For those who want to leverage the power of Next.js while enjoying the benefits of a static site deployment on Netlify, this tool provides a practical and effective solution.

With a year of inspiration from previous projects like next-on-netlify and next-aws-lambda, the Next Export API focuses specifically on the intricacies of Next.js and its unique export capabilities. This means that it effectively bridges the gap between creating API endpoints in Next.js and deploying them successfully in a serverless environment.
