(CLOSED) TypeError: fetch is not a function, What did I do wrong?

I'm trying to use node-fetch in order to fetch this website that has this JSON file where I can use it for my discord bot.

Code (JS):

const fetch = import("node-fetch") // some code until data = "" try { data = await fetch(`()})}`).then(res => res.json) errored = false } catch (error) { throw error; } 

It errors saying:

TypeError: fetch is not a function 

How do I fix this?

FYI, Using require() resulted in an error as such:

const fetch = require("node-fetch") ^ Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module F:\Users\Basil Atif\Folders\VsauceBot\node_modules\node-fetch\src\index.js from F:\Users\Basil Atif\Folders\VsauceBot\src\Commands\reddit.js not supported. Instead change the require of index.js in F:\Users\Basil Atif\Folders\VsauceBot\src\Commands\reddit.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules. code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM' }

Try using this style of import:

import fetch from 'node-fetch';
