405 usually means the route exists but the method isn’t allowed.
Check:
- Are you *sure* the endpoint supports POST? Maybe docs are wrong.
- Is there middleware blocking it? (Like CSRF checks.)
Tool: Swagger UI to test the API interactively.

Yo, update your post with the server stack! 405 could be anything—Node, PHP, Python all handle it differently.
For me, it was a missing `@RequestMapping(method = POST)` in Spring.
Also, try hitting the API from a different client (like mobile). Might rule out browser quirks.
