Although the issue is not apparent in PHP, why is the API returning a 404 code?

edit

There could be several reasons for this. Some possible reasons include:

1. Resource not found: The API may be returning a 404 code if the requested resource, such as a file or page, does not exist or has been moved.

2. Authentication issues: If the API requires authentication, the 404 code may be returned if the authentication credentials provided are incorrect or have expired.

3. Permissions issues: If the API also manages access control to resources, a 404 code may be returned if the user does not have sufficient permissions to access the requested resource.

4. Server issues: The API may be returning a 404 code if there is an issue with the web server configuration, such as a misconfigured .htaccess file.

5. API errors: It is also possible that the API itself is experiencing errors, which may result in a 404 code being returned even if the requested resource exists and the authentication and permissions are correct.
