Use external ApiS in Nuxt?

Not sure I'm 100% understanding how to handle external APIs in Nuxt. I need to store a secret key in the .env file and access it later, and make additional queries based on a search from the user. Currently I have a

server/api/jobs.js

server/api/jobs.js

file that holds the initial query, which works great for the initial render. But I'm trying to search for jobs at a different URL in the API call with a query param, set up as

server/api/searchCityJobs.js

server/api/searchCityJobs.js

right now.

I was doing this in the component previously for testing purposes, but I obviously don't want to expose the private API key. Does anyone have any insight into this?
