Since it's a 500 you have to check the server logs, in this case the output in your terminal from the dev command to see what error has happened in the route handler.

#

This will help you narrow down whether your request body handling, the AI request or the DB code is causing issues.

You're right, the dev server's 500 error and stack trace are quite helpful in narrowing down the issue. I have checked the stack trace and it says "error occured while processing your request" when a call was made through api . I m not understanding why is this happening

i understand you didnt deploy

#

but you can publish your code on github

#

and i can help you then

#

the error will be in your vscode as aforementioned by near, not in the browser
