pre-download all assets from an API with NUXT

I have a website built with a Strapi/Nuxt stack. I can make it totally static, instead of pre-rendering pages, but I still need to retrieve the images or other assets from Strapi, so I still do need a server. During the "compilation", the Strapi API is fetched and the contents used to pre-render all the pages I want: would be possible to also download all the assets into the dist directory during the nuxt generate operation?

During the build, you can query Strapi's API and get the assets URL, nothing blocking you here.
Otherwise, you could also download the file itself and write it down into your project.
Here is one my answer that you can get some ideas from: How to access remote data and write it into a file during Nuxt build?

It's not Webpack's job to do this neither. As a pre-build tool, I guess that you can use nodejs-file-downloader and use it at the top of your nuxt.config.js file.
