Is it bad practice to have an nodejs job running alongside an nodejs api, that to say, sharing models and libraries.

I have to do an job to run an task once every day, the task I need to do is like 20 lines of code, if I use the models that I already wrote for the API, instead of copying all the models and creating two codebases with the exaclty the same code, and if I changed one, I would need to remember to change another, I decided to put the job alongside the API, so both run and make use of the models folder.I don't know if this is a bad practice. I thought about outsourcing my job code into an API endpoint and then calling this endpoint once every day. Is this the best approuch for this problem?
