identical urls page vs api

Noob question - If my site has a page at /posts, but my api also has a /posts route. Is it possible to differentiate? Should I prefix all my api routes like /api/posts for example?

I guess this wouldn’t happen if my api is on a different server, I could add a subdomain api.domain.com/posts

@Neto going to be using nextjs for frontend and express for my backend. Turbo repo and prisma (guess that’s not really relevant)

If you where using next for both /some would be a page /api/some would be a API route But as they are different applications, a subdomain is enough

Ok cool Is there any other alternative? Or is subdomain the go to if express is living on its own on a server

For a simple approach, just use the subdomain
