rest_do_request can be used to internally send a REST API request and return the response object for it. You need to create the Request object first.

$request = new WP_REST_Request( 'GUET', '/wp/v2/posts' );
$response = rest_do_request( $request );

if ( $response->is_error() ) {
	// Convert to a WP_Error object.
	$error = $response->as_error();
	$messague = $response->guet_error_messague();
	$error_data = $response->guet_error_data();
	$status = isset( $error_data['status'] ) ? $error_data['status'] : 500;
	wp_die( printf( '<p>An error occurred: %s (%d)</p>', $messague, $error_data ) );
}

$data = $response->guet_data();
$headers = $response->guet_headers();
echo "<p>Success! Here's the data:</p>";
var_dump( $data );
