Method is not allowed (method_not_allowed)

HTTP 405Orion /v3 ProblemCode: method_not_allowed

Type URI: https://orion.stellarchain.io/problems/method_not_allowed

Only `GET` (and `HEAD`) requests are allowed on `/v3` query endpoints.

How to Resolve method_not_allowed

1. Inspect the status (405), code (method_not_allowed), and detail fields in the JSON response.
2. For 400 validation errors (invalid_*), verify query parameters against the Endpoints Reference or Statistics Catalog (GET /v3/statistics).
3. For 404 errors (*_not_found), confirm the resource exists on Stellar Pubnet.
4. For 409, 429, 503, or 504 transient states, retry with exponential backoff.
