API returning 404
I am testing the API feature in next js and it keeps giving me a 404 error.
My files are in the following dir: app/pages/api/hello.js
The following url: http://localhost:3000/api/hello
here is the code in my hello.js file:
export default function handler(req, res) {
res.status(200).json({ text: 'Hello' })
}
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

Hi @.discomelon. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Your API route and code seem to be correctly set up. The
hello.js
file in the pages/api
directory should be accessible via <http://localhost:3000/api/hello
.>
Here are a few things you can check:
1. Make sure your Next.js server is running. You can start it with npm run dev
or yarn dev
in your project directory.
2. Check if there are any errors in the console where your server is running.
3. Make sure you're sending a GET
request to the API endpoint. The default exported function in your hello.js
file handles all types of HTTP requests.
4. If you're using a tool like Postman to test the API, make sure you've selected the correct HTTP method and entered the correct URL.
5. If you're testing the API in the browser, try hard refreshing the page (Ctrl + F5 or Cmd + Shift + R).
If you're still having issues, you might want to check the Next.js documentation on API routes (https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) for more information.
Also, if you're using Refine with Next.js and want to handle 404 errors, you can create a 404.tsx
file in your /pages
directory. This will be used as the 404 page. For more information, you can check the Refine documentation on handling 404s (https://refine.dev/docs/router-integrations/next-js#handling-404s).

thanks but I am still getting the 404 page
@kapa.ai is there a different way to arrange the file structure as I am using the app router
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, when using the
routerProvider
from @refinedev/nextjs-router/app
in Refine, you can arrange your file structure in a different way. You can define your pages in the app
directory and set up the router bindings for Refine.
For example, you can create routes for your resources like this:
- app/posts/page.tsx
- List page for posts
- app/posts/show/[id]/page.tsx
- Detail page for posts
- app/categories/page.tsx
- List page for categories
- app/categories/show/[id]/page.tsx
- Detail page for categories
And you can create a route for the index and use it to redirect to the posts
resource:
- app/page.tsx
- Index page
Here is an example of how you can initialize the Refine app in the app/layout.tsx
file:
This structure allows you to define the action routes for your resources in the resources
array and define your pages in the app
directory. For more information, you can check the Refine documentation on Next.js router integration (https://refine.dev/docs/router-integrations/next-js#app-directory).
