code: 'ERR_INVALID_URL', [TypeError: Failed to parse URL from /time]

I have a Node.js server which works as expected. I want to run a JS function that I used to trigger manually, via a website, on a daily basis. I extracted the function to a new file on the server in the same directory as the server file. When I run it, I get an error:

[TypeError: Failed to parse URL from /time] { [cause]: TypeError: Invalid URL at new URL (node:internal/url:819:25) at new Request (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:11063:25) at fetch (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:11988:25) at fetch (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:16555:10) at fetch (node:internal/bootstrap/web/exposed-window-or-worker:83:12) at update_ATC_ALC (/home/nfp-repo/login/daily_ATC_ALC_update.js:64:13) at Object.<anonymous> (/home/nfp-repo/login/daily_ATC_ALC_update.js:110:13) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1811:14) at Object..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1951:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1532:32) { code: 'ERR_INVALID_URL', input: '/time' } 64 fetch('/time', options)

If the above is not what I should use, how do I address the POST to the server?

64 fetch('http://localhost:80/time', options) // ?

Node.js v25.7.0 npm v11.11.0

you can't do relative paths for node js fetches, you have to use a actual url like the one you just showed
