Please can someone help me to see what I’ve done wrong? It keeps saying that it cannot GET /api/timestamp.
I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make easier to read.
See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.
