405 Method Not Allowed

The 405 Method Not Allowed response is generated by Laravel if you send a request to a URL with the wrong HTTP method. For example, if you define a URL with Route::post, but send a GET request to it, you will get this error.

This is a problem between the defined routes in your backend and the requests you’re sending to it in the frontend, causing Laravel to send an error. This is not a hosting issue.


That said, you should know that we provide a website hosting service, i.e. hosting for things that produces pages that are viewed in a browser. Building an API on our hosting is fine, but note that it can only be used from a frontend that’s hosted on the same URL. If not, you’ll run into this security system:

Also note that our servers only accept GET and POST requests. Other HTTP methods, like PUT, DELETE and PATCH are not allowed. That said, Laravel will let you send “fake” HTTP keywords by sending the request as post with a _method parameter that contains the HTTP keyword that the request should be interpreted as.
