Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });
                      ^

Environment

• Node.js version: 22.16
• dataforseo-client version: 2.0.17

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up a new NestJS project with:

pnpm add -g @nestjs/cli
nest new demo

2. Install dataforseo-client@2.0.17
3. Add the following example code to the main.ts file for testing:

import { BacklinksApi } from 'dataforseo-client';
new BacklinksApi();

4. Run the project with pnpm start:dev to see the error.

Expected Behavior

Imports should work without throwing an error.

Current Behavior

The module fails to load with an export-undefined error.

Note: The last version of dataforseo-client I'm able to use without issue is 1.0.31.
