If you want to create api directory to fetch the data, you can do that. Or else you can simply fetch the data from the server components

You said app directory and why are you using getStaticPath or getStaticParams ?

Those are NextJS 12 versions

To get the path and params, you don't need to use these functions. In NextJS 13 ,those things can be get as params in server components. Go through this doc. It will help you
