$fetch
Nuxt uses ofetch to expose globally the $fetch helper for making HTTP requests within your Vue app or API routes.
Read more in Docs > Getting Started > Data Fetching.
During server-side rendering, calling $fetch to fetch your internal API routes will directly call the relevant function (emulating the request), saving an additional API call.
Note that $fetch is the preferred way to make HTTP calls in Nuxt 3 instead of @nuxt/http and @nuxtjs/axios that are made for Nuxt 2.
