The HTTP status code 405 Method Not Allowed indicates that the server recognizes the request method but it is not supported for the requested resource. This typically happens when:
1. The HTTP method (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) is not allowed for the specific endpoint or resource.
- Example: Sending a POST request to a URL that only supports GET.
2. Server-side misconfiguration.
- Example: The server is configured to disallow certain methods for a resource.
How to Fix
1. Check the Allowed Methods:
- Confirm the HTTP methods allowed for the endpoint (via documentation or server response headers, specifically the Allow header in the 405 response).
2.Adjust Your Request Method:
- Change your request to use one of the allowed methods for that endpoint.
3. Check Routing on the Server:
- If you control the server, verify that the route or handler for the endpoint supports the method you're using.
4. Inspect API Documentation:
- The API documentation should clearly state which methods are supported.
5. Contact the API Provider:
- If you're sure your method should work, the issue might be on the server side.
