fetch is not defined

[JcynR]

I tried installing node-fetch manually but it didn't fix it.

client.js:193
const request = await fetch('https://beta.character.ai/chat/auth/lazy/', {
                ^
ReferenceError: fetch is not defined

Hello
do npm install node-fetch

[JcynR]

I did that already.

[JcynR]

Looks like you didn't import the package in client.js

[realcoloride]

I don't have to, it works without having to require anything

Though you might wanna install cross fetch, in what environment and node version do you run?

Okay, I see what's happening,I'm running v16.6.2 but in version 18.0.0 they apparently added fetch to the global scope

Check it:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V18.md#fetch-experimental

I may have to upgrade then... but I can't at this time. Maybe you should make that clear or make it compatible with older versions.

I upgraded to v18 so for me it's not a problem anymore. But if you want to make it compatible with older versions, you could just use the node-fetch library instead. All you have to do is import it.
