Answered

Anyone else having issues getting a really basic API request working in NextJS 15? I have a request
and when I make a request it returns a 404. I know in theory the force-dynamic isn't needed anymore as they fixed it but it made no difference without it
/api/revalidate with import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'
export async function GET(): Promise<any> {
// revalidateTag('services.update')
return NextResponse.json({ hello: 'hi' })
}and when I make a request it returns a 404. I know in theory the force-dynamic isn't needed anymore as they fixed it but it made no difference without it

What does the path to that route.js file look like?
This works no issues.
BillyOP
/src/app/api/revalidate/route.ts
in your browser your hitting localhost:3000/api/revalidate yeah?
BillyOP
browser and Postman
Hrmmm.
I have zero issues.
with TS
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";
export async function GET(request: Request) {
return NextResponse.json({hello: 'hi'})
}Can you try replacing your code with this and see if it works
BillyOP
can you confirm that you can get to localhost:3000?
just the base route?
BillyOP

The errors is just the formatting and missing types, as I directly copied and pasted your code.
