What it means

A 405 Method Not Allowed response indicates that the server knows about the requested URL, but the HTTP method used is not supported for that resource. For example, sending a POST to a URL that only accepts GET requests.

Common causes

• A POST request was sent to a URL that only accepts GET.
• A PUT or DELETE was attempted on a read-only resource.
• The API endpoint requires a different HTTP method than the one used.

How to fix it

• Check the API documentation for the correct HTTP method.
• If you are the developer, look at the Allow header in the response to see which methods are supported.
