HTTP 405: Method Not Allowed

The HTTP method (GET, POST...) is not allowed for this URL.

What it means

The HTTP method (GET, POST...) is not allowed for this URL. Client errors mean the request cannot be fulfilled as sent. The server is working, but the address, permission or request rate is the problem.

Common causes

Calling an API with the wrong method, or a server rule blocking POST.

How to fix it

Use a method the endpoint supports (see the Allow header) or fix the server rule.

If you are a visitor

Check the address for typos, sign in if the page needs it, and try again. If you believe the page should exist, tell the site owner.

If you own the site

Retrying the same request will not help until you change something (URL, credentials or timing). URLs that keep returning 404 or 410 are dropped from search results over time. 429 and 403 can block crawlers if they are too aggressive or blocked by a firewall. Run the HTTP status checker to see exactly what your URL returns, and use uptime monitoring to be told when it changes.
