Sorry for the delay, but I’m unable to see the issue that you mention. As I mentioned, I cloned the repo, installed the Node Modules, set the `.env` file and ran `netlify dev` in terminal. Whenever I go to:

```auto
http://localhost:8888/api/creation/test

```

I get the error:

```auto
SyntaxError - Cannot use import statement outside a module

```

While this can possibly be fixed, your codebase seems to be all over the place and offering such code-level debugging is unfortunately out of our scope. If you know how to get past this issue to see the actual problem you’re seeing.
