Let me know if you're using another framework for your backend. There's always a way :cat_cool:

Thank you - so there's no way to call it without it going over http? That's fine i just want to make sure i understood correctly. I.e. if I have a an api route or action in nextjs, it would be making a query over http instead of being able to import the function within the code?

also do I have to worry about closing the http client after the call? Should i just make one instance of it and import it throughout? Or i can create it on the fly within each call?
