Okay. Sharing you a solution which I have used to call the Api from the plugin’s route, controller without using middleware.

Calling API from a Admin component **\src\plugins\plugin-name\admin\src\components\componentName\index.js**)

 const response = await request('/plugin-name/route-name', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: {
      prompt: prompt,
    }
})

Create a route at this path **\src\plugins\plugin-name\server\routes\index.js** and add the below code

module.exports = [
  {
    method: 'POST',
    path: '/route-name',
    handler: 'controllerName.myFunction',
  },
];

Create a controller at this path **\src\plugins\plugin-name\server\controllers\controllerName.js** and add the below code:

'use strict';
module.exports = ({ strapi }) => ({
  async myFunction(ctx) {
    // Your logic (Copy your Normal controller function code here)
  },
});

I hope this can give you a better idea now :slight_smile:
