title: Dynamic API was called outside request
---

## Why This Error Occurred

A Dynamic API was called outside a request scope. (Eg.: Global scope).

Note that Dynamic APIs could have been called deep inside other modules/functions (eg.: third-party libraries) that are not immediately visible.

## Possible Ways to Fix It

Make sure that all Dynamic API calls happen in a request scope.

Example:

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

- const cookieStore = cookies()
export default function Page() {
+ const cookieStore = cookies()
  return ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/foo/route.js"
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

- const headersList = headers()
export async function GET() {
+ const headersList = headers()
  return ...
}
```
