error 405 method not allowed in postman

trying to send a post request to an api i just built and getting error 405. get requests work fine. what am i missing?

The 405 Method Not Allowed error occurs because the API endpoint exists but doesn't support the POST method.

Error 405 Method Not Allowed in Postman occurs when the HTTP method used (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) is not supported by the API endpoint. Check the correct method, endpoint URL, server configuration, and API documentation to ensure the request matches allowed operations.

The error 405 Method Not Allowed in Postman occurs when the HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) is not supported by the API endpoint. Check the correct method in API documentation, verify the URL, and ensure headers and body format are correct. Using the wrong method is the most common cause.

Error 405 (Method Not Allowed) in Postman means the HTTP method you are using (such as GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE) is not allowed for that API endpoint. To fix it, check the API documentation and make sure you are using the correct request method supported by the server.

yeah, that's exactly what everyone's been saying. so now that you know what it means, what does your actual api code for that endpoint look like? did you explicitly tell it to accept POST requests? a lot of frameworks default to GET only unless you configure them for other methods.

ah that makes sense thanks for clarifying
