# getInitialProps

## Recommended: `getStaticProps` or `getServerSideProps`

If you're using Next.js 9.3 or newer, we recommend that you use `getStaticProps` or `getServerSideProps` instead of `getInitialProps`.

These new data fetching methods allow you to have a granular choice between static generation and server-side rendering.

Learn more on the [Pages documentation](/docs/basic-features/pages.md) and the [Data fetching documentation](/docs/basic-features/data-fetching.md):
