I am trying to fetch some data using postman from a url endpoint but it is not working. Most of the ones I tried were working before but now showing error 404. I tried say: `https://play.dhis2.org/2.40.6/api/dataSets?fields=*` ---

@jetisco4u It seems all the URLs, including [DHIS 2 Demo - Sierra Leone](https://play.dhis2.org/2.40.6/api/dataSets?fields=)\*, are working fine. If you’re still getting a 404 error, try the following: 1. Credentials: Ensure you’re correct credentials 2. Connectivity Check: Test the endpoint /api/system/info to confirm the API is accessible. 3. Postman Settings: Double-check your Postman setup (e.g., headers, authorization) to ensure everything is correct. ---

Well I don’t know why it’s not working for me. I make sure every detail is correct in the Postman setup. ---

Hi @jetisco4u Like @Matthew_Boddie mentioned, you need to use the URL that the instance is using. If you have used these requests a while ago i.e. ‘[play.dhis2.org/instance](http://play.dhis2.org/instance)’ they might have worked, but there’s a new way that the team is handling these play instances (using an instance manager), so the URL of each instance is not `play.dhis2.org/instance` it’ll be `play.im.dhis2.org/instance`. Here’s how to get the correct URL: 1. go to [Play.dhis2.org](http://Play.dhis2.org) 2. click on the instance you want to use 3. Check that the URL is the same, it will include the `.im.` Thanks!
