This is a location issue with your endpoint, you're hitting the server but there isn't anything on that route. You need to check the implementation details of your API and pass the correct URL for that request.

Check for errors in the URL. Often times this error appears because the URL was typed wrong or the link selected points to the wrong URL. Move up one directory level at a time in the URL until you find something. For example, if www.web.com/a/b/c.htm gave you the 404 Not Found error, move up to www.web.com/a/b/.

Error 404 is a client-side issue indicating the requested URL can't be found on the server. It may occur because of several reasons, such as the domain is not pointed correctly, a broken . htaccess file, or misconfigured file permissions.

Go to IIS logs and check if there is a sub-status code for the 404 error. Go to Request Filtering in IIS Manager to make sure there is no rule affecting ASP.NET pages. Check if the other websites hosted in IIS work. Create a new website and application pool to try accessing your ASP.NET pages.

All you need to do is clear the last directory in the URL. The link for the page you are looking for should be visible on the previous page. If it is not to be found on that page then you can also go back to the previous page and look for the correct link there.

One of the first steps to troubleshoot IIS issues is to check the logs. IIS logs can provide valuable information about the requests, responses, errors, and events that occur on the web server. You can access the logs from the IIS Manager console, or from the %SystemDrive%\inetpub\logs\LogFiles folder.

To solve IIS error 400, make sure that the URL you have entered is correct. Typing errors or non-allowed characters in the URL are the most common cause of the Bad Request error. If the error still occurs after verifying the URL, clear your browser's cache, DNS cache and cookies and try again.

The <httpErrors> element contains a collection of <error> elements, each of which defines an error message that IIS uses to respond to specific HTTP errors. You can add custom error messages to IIS by adding an <error> element to the <httpErrors> element in the Web. config file for your site, application, or URL.
