πŸ” Find Your Correct API URL - 404 Troubleshooting

🚨 Your Space is giving 404 errors - Let's find the right URL!

Step 1: Check Your Space Status

  1. Go to your Space directly: https://huggingface.co/spaces/CarsaAI/carsa_api
  2. Look for these indicators:
    • βœ… "Running" status (green)
    • ❌ "Building" status (yellow)
    • ❌ "Runtime Error" status (red)
    • ❌ "Stopped" status (gray)

Step 2: If Your Space Shows "Running", Try These URLs:

URL Format 1:

https://carsaai-carsa-api.hf.space

URL Format 2 (with port):

https://carsaai-carsa-api.hf.space:7860

URL Format 3 (alternative naming):

https://carsa-ai-carsa-api.hf.space

URL Format 4 (proxy path):

https://huggingface.co/spaces/CarsaAI/carsa_api/proxy

URL Format 5 (direct embed):

https://carsaai-carsa-api.hf.space/health

Step 3: Test URLs in Your Browser

Open each URL in your browser and look for:

βœ… Working URL will show:

{
  "status": "Carsa AI API is running",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "services": ["translation", "speech-to-text", "text-to-speech"]
}

❌ 404 Error will show:

404 - Sorry, we can't find the page you are looking for.

Step 4: If ALL URLs Give 404

Your Space might not be properly deployed. Check these:

A. Check Space Logs:

  1. Go to: https://huggingface.co/spaces/CarsaAI/carsa_api
  2. Click "Logs" tab
  3. Look for errors in the build/runtime logs

B. Common Issues:

  • Build Failed: Space never started properly
  • Runtime Error: Space started but crashed
  • Port Issues: App running on wrong port
  • Branch Issues: Code not on correct branch

C. Force Rebuild:

  1. Go to your Space settings
  2. Click "Restart this Space"
  3. Wait for rebuild to complete

Step 5: Alternative URLs to Try

If the standard format doesn't work, your Space might use:

https://hf.space/carsaai/carsa_api
https://spaces.huggingface.co/CarsaAI/carsa_api
https://carsaai-carsa-api.hf.space/gradio_api/health

Step 6: Quick Debug Test

Test this simple URL in your browser:

https://carsaai-carsa-api.hf.space/docs

If this works, you'll see the FastAPI documentation page.

Step 7: Update Your Flutter App

Once you find the working URL, update your Flutter api_service.dart:

class ApiService {
  // Replace with the URL that works from Step 2-3
  static const String baseUrl = 'YOUR_WORKING_URL_HERE';
  
  // Test translation endpoint
  static Future<void> testConnection() async {
    try {
      final response = await http.get(Uri.parse('$baseUrl/health'));
      print('βœ… Connection test: ${response.statusCode}');
      print('βœ… Response: ${response.body}');
    } catch (e) {
      print('❌ Connection failed: $e');
    }
  }
}

🎯 IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:

  1. Check your Space status at: https://huggingface.co/spaces/CarsaAI/carsa_api
  2. Try each URL format in your browser
  3. Look at Space logs if all URLs fail
  4. Report back which URL works (or if none work)
