## You are experiencing the following issue

After sending a request, the response results in a *404 Not Found*error\*.\*

## What to expect

A [404 Not Found](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/404?retiredLocale=nl) is an HTTP status code response that indicates that the server won’t process the request because it is unable to locate the resource specified in the request.

## Unblock yourself

* Make sure there is no error in the [configuration of your request](/docs/sending-requests/create-requests/request-basics/) . Look for typos, whitespaces, or invalid JSON formatting.
* If your request contains special characters, try to  turn off the [encoding inside Postman](/docs/sending-requests/create-requests/request-settings/#encode-your-request-urls) .
* Compare the API documentation of the service you’re making a call to and verify that the below elements if required, are configured correctly in the request:
  * The [request headers](/docs/sending-requests/create-requests/headers/#configure-request-headers)
  * The parameters in the [request body](/docs/sending-requests/create-requests/parameters/#send-body-data-with-requests)
  * The [query parameters](/docs/sending-requests/create-requests/parameters/#send-request-parameters)
  * The [HTTP method](/docs/sending-requests/create-requests/request-basics/#select-request-methods)
* If your endpoint is private, make sure the [proxy settings](/docs/getting-started/installation/proxy/#configuring-proxy-settings) are configured correctly.

If the problem continues after verifying your request's configuration, contact the service provider of the endpoint you're attempting to access.
