Nextjs getStaticPaths Error: getStaticPaths is required for dynamic SSG pages . NextJS

Question

I have been trying to use getStatic props in my nextjs project, to pre-render the component for seo purpose. getStaticProps was used inside the pages and when i try to build the project it shows the following error.

"getStaticPaths is required for dynamic SSG pages and is missing for "xxx". NextJS"

I tried to use getStaticProps inside the pages and to load the data for seo purpose and i want to build the project, get the data via api call in the pages.

For dynamic pages or slugs, the path with expected params has to be defined in getStaticPaths. Please refer https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching/get-static-paths
