Proxy prefix making it acessing API error layout instead nuxt error layout

[DhikaArtwards]

i have proxy configuration like this
proxy: { '/api': { target: process.env.BASE_URL, pathRewrite: { '^/api/': '' }, changeOrigin: true, onProxyReq(request) { request.setHeader('origin', process.env.BASE_URL) } } },

base url value is something.com/api
and the code when fetching something like this
.get('/api/seo_metas'

when im accessing url localhost:3000/api/ it return API 404 error message layout instead the nuxt one, is this expected behavior?
