Cannot map results from API - json

Question

I'm trying to dynamically generate routes in my next.js application. I have an api called getUsers that returns something like this:
{"users":[{"_id":"639a87ae8a128118cecae85b","username":"STCollier","image":"https://storage.googleapis.com/replit/images/1641322468533_db666b7453a6efdb886f0625aa9ea987.jpeg","admin":false,"likedPosts":["639e34c5991ecaea52ace9e4","639e34c7991ecaea52ace9e7","639e34c7991ecaea52ace9ea","639e39a216a642f686a28036","639e39a216a642f686a28037","639e3b3d8cdebd89d9691f97","639e3b3d8cdebd89d9691f98","639e3b3e8cdebd89d9691f9d","639e3b5a8cdebd89d9691fa0","639e3b5c8cdebd89d9691fa3","639e3b5c8cdebd89d9691fa6"],"dislikedPosts":[""]},{"_id":"639a88abc4274fba4e775cbe","username":"IcemasterEric","image":"https://storage.googleapis.com/replit/images/1646785533195_169db2a072ad275cfd18a9c2a9cd78a1.jpeg","admin":false,"likedPosts":[],"dislikedPosts":[]}
So I know the API works succesfully, but when trying to get these api results and generate a page for each username, I get an error stating:
TypeError: users.map is not a function
Here's my code for generating the routes:
//pages/user/[username].js
const Get = async (url) => {
return await fetch(url).then(r => r.json());
}
export async function getStaticPaths() {
const users = Get('/api/getUsers')
return {
paths: users.map(u => {
const username = u.users.username
return {
params: {
username
}
}
}),
fallback: false
}
}
What is wrong with my getStaticPaths() code? I know that the API is working, so why can't I map the results?
And if anyone needs the code for api/getUsers, here is that:
import clientPromise from "../../lib/mongodb";
import nc from "next-connect";
const app = nc()
app.get(async function getUsers(req, res) {
const client = await clientPromise;
const db = client.db("the-quotes-place");
let users = []
try {
const dbUsers = await db
.collection("users")
.find({})
.toArray();
users = dbUsers
return res.json({
users: JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(users)),
success: true
})
} catch(e) {
return res.json({
message: new Error(e).message,
success: false,
});
}
})
export default app
Thanks for any help!!

Modify Get method to return an async value instead of Promise.
As Get is an async method, you need the await in getStaticPaths method.
const Get = async (url) => {
let response = await fetch(url);
return await response.json();
}
export async function getStaticPaths() {
const users = await Get('/api/getUsers');
...
}
