# method_not_allowed

> Method not allowed. That URL exists, but not with this HTTP method, for example PUT where Guv expects PATCH.

**Method not allowed.** That URL exists, but not with this HTTP method, for example `PUT` where Guv expects `PATCH`.

- **HTTP status:** `405 Method Not Allowed`
- **CLI exit code:** `1` (not signed in)
- **Retry:** not as it is; the same request will fail the same way until the cause is fixed

## How to fix it

See the API reference for the allowed methods.

## What the response looks like

```json
{
  "type": "https://guv.dev/errors/method_not_allowed",
  "title": "Method not allowed",
  "status": 405,
  "code": "method_not_allowed",
  "detail": "That URL exists, but not with this HTTP method, for example `PUT` where Guv expects `PATCH`.",
  "fix": "See the API reference for the allowed methods.",
  "docs_url": "https://guv.dev/errors/method_not_allowed",
  "request_id": "req_01jbx2m9k7q4r8t5v6w3y0z1rq"
}
```

The `code` field is stable: match on it, not on `title` or `detail`, which may be reworded.
