how to quickly identify allowed http methods on any url without manual testing

the problem

when testing web endpoints, figuring out which http methods are supported can be tedious and time-consuming. manually trying each method is slow and error-prone, risking unintended side effects.

the solution

our api programmatically enumerates supported http methods for any url. it returns a list of allowed methods, making security assessments and development workflows smoother.

example request:

curl https://http-method-enumeration.apimesh.xyz/check?url=https://example.com/api" 

**sample output:**
{
  "url": "https://example.com/api",
  "methods": ["GET", "POST"]
}


## how it works
the api sends an options request to the target url, checks the response headers for allowed methods, and returns the list as JSON. it’s a lightweight, automated way to validate what operations are permitted.
