400 Bad Request

The server cannot process the request due to malformed syntax, invalid parameters, or bad encoding.

Common Causes

  1. 1Malformed JSON in request body
  2. 2Missing required query parameters
  3. 3Invalid URL encoding
  4. 4Request header too large
  5. 5Cookie data corrupted or too large

How to Fix

Validate request before sending

const body = JSON.stringify({ name: 'test' });
const res = await fetch('/api/data', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body,
});

Ensure Content-Type matches the body format and all required fields are present.
