Encountering build error in Nextjs deployment on vercel

so this is the error:

Error [AxiosError]: Request failed with status code 401
at eO (.next/server/chunks/859.js:1:47996)
at IncomingMessage.<anonymous> (.next/server/chunks/859.js:3:9448)
at aN.request (.next/server/chunks/859.js:3:21242)

at async a (.next/server/app/items/page.js:1:8595) {
code: 'ERR_BAD_REQUEST',
config: [Object],
request: [ClientRequest],
response: [Object],
status: 401,
constructor: [Function],
toJSON: [Function: toJSON]

It says request failed with 401 status code but, I'm not even using authentication for the app. The error occurs for routes /api/items and /api/items/${id} and both are GET requests.

I am attaching all the relevant code down here. Please help me.

/items

import axios from "axios";
import ItemCard from "@/components/ItemCard";
import { IItem } from "@/models/item.model";
import { getBaseUrl } from "@/lib/getBaseUrl";

const getData = async () => {
  try {
    const baseUrl = getBaseUrl();
    const { data } = await axios.get(`${baseUrl}/api/items`);
    console.log(data);
    // const res = await fetch("/api/items");
    // const data = await res.json();
    // console.log(data);
    return data;
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }
};

const Items = async () => {
  try {
    const items: IItem[] = await getData();
    if (!items) {
      return <div>No items found</div>;
    }

    return (
      <div className="min-h-screen h-fit w-full bg-black flex justify-center">
        <div className="grid md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-3 justify-center">
          {items.map((i: IItem) => (
            <ItemCard item={i} key={i._id} />
          ))}
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error loading items:", error);
    return <div>Error loading items. Please try again later.</div>;
  }
};

export default Items;

/items/${id}

import { IItem } from "@/models/item.model";
import axios from "axios";
import { getBaseUrl } from "@/lib/getBaseUrl";

const getData = async (id: string) => {
  try {
    // const { data } = await axios.get(`/api/items/${id}`);
    // const res = await fetch(
    //   `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL}/api/items/${id}`,
    //   { method: "GET" }
    // );
    // const data = await res.json();
    const baseUrl = getBaseUrl();

    const { data } = await axios.get(`${baseUrl}/api/items/${id}`);

    return data;
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }
};

const ItemDetails = async ({ params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> }) => {
  const { id } = await params;
  const item: IItem = await getData(id);
  if (!item) {
    return (
      <div className="min-h-screen flex items-center justify-center text-white">
        Item not found
      </div>
    );
  }

  const date = new Date(item.date);
  return (
         {//remaining jsx here}
  );
};

export default ItemDetails;

/api/items

export const GET = async () => {
  try {
    await connectToDb();
    console.log("inside get request");
    const allItems = await Item.find({});
    console.log("Successfully fetched items:", allItems.length);
    return NextResponse.json(allItems);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error in GET /api/items:", error);
    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: "Failed to fetch items" },
      { status: 500 }
    );
  }
};

/api/items/${id}

export const GET = async (request: NextRequest) => {
  const id = request.nextUrl.pathname.split("/").pop();
  try {
    connectToDb();
    const item = await Item.findById(id);
    return NextResponse.json(item);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
};

The POST request works so there's no problem in connecting to the Mongo database, I suppose.

Here is the live website replicating the issue And also, here is the Github
