Cannot GET /

[Tobe2d]

When I try to open the backend on http://localhost:3001/ I get white page with small text "Cannot GET /"

Therefore when I try to use the API I am getting error:

An Error occured: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: http://host.docker.internal:3001/api/search

the log for the backend in docker looks good:

2024-10-31 00:05:53 yarn run v1.22.19

However, Perplexica is working fine as frontend when I use it on port 3000

what am I missing?

Use http://localhost:3001/api/search. You don't need to use host.docker.internal since you're sending request from the host.

Thanks for the reply,

Changing it to http://localhost:3001/api/search still give me this result:

You need to send a post request, its an API not a GUI.

Yes when I try to make call I egt this:

An Error occured: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=3001): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/search (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7ff0fa55ee10>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))
