Quick Summary: The URL is right but the verb is wrong. The detail and the allowedMethods extension list the methods this path does support.

​
What happened

You called an existing endpoint with an HTTP method it doesn’t implement — for example DELETE /api/v1/ping, which only answers GET. This is distinct from not-found: a 404 means no such path, a 405 means the path exists and you should change the method, not the URL.

Example

​
What to do

Switch to one of the methods in allowedMethods. If you expected this operation to exist — say, a DELETE on a resource that only documents POST — check the endpoint’s page in the API reference for the supported operations and any alternative (many removals are modelled as dedicated sub-resources or deactivate endpoints).
