Can I use a nextapi/ instead of api/?

[fifofefe]

We are deploying a website example.com with nextjs behind nginx where the example.com/api route is redirected to another server, this means we are unable to access nextjs own api routes, is there a configuration to change the default api route name?

Would adding a basepath solve the problem? so that the entire website becomes example.com/base/ and next apis would be example.com/base/api

Would it work to redirect to api in next.config.js?

Is any of these an officially supported solution?
