'Error 405 when making a request to locally hosted webserivce from local site
I currently have a flask API and website (hosted locally using nodejs), which down the line I'm going to separate. The issue I'm having is that when I make a request from the website to my local API, it gives me a 405 Method Not Allowed error. I tried doing the request through Postman and it went through. I've also tried disabling CORS, which gave the same error.
API-side:
@app.route("/api/CreateToken", methods=['POST'])
def createToken():
print(request.form['tokenJson'])
return "added token successfully."
Website-side:
function test() {
var formdata = new FormData();
formdata.append("tokenJson", "Long string that gets processed in the API");
var requestOptions = {
method: 'POST',
mode: "no-cors",
body: formdata,
redirect: 'follow'
};
console.log("Sending Token")
fetch("192.168.0.xxx:5000/api/CreateToken", requestOptions)
.then(response => response.text())
.then(result => console.log(result))
.catch(error => console.log('error', error));
}
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (event) => {test();});

Turns out the issue was that it was going to 192.168.0.xxx:8080/192.168.0.xxx:5000/api/CreateToken because I forgot to put http:// in front of the IP of the request.
