Kong responds 404 when accessed vi Postman - api

Question

I have set up an API and Kong. I have successfully installed Kong. In fact, i can access my APIs via curl on cli. However, when I use Postman, which I use all of the time, I get the response
{
"request_path": "/api/v1/",
"message": "API not found with these values",
"request_host": [
"192.168.33.13"
]
}
Ps. Im new to kong so please bear with me.

How ever when I try to use Postman, I get a 404 status response.
with this body
{
"request_path": "/api/v1/",
"message": "API not found with these values",
"request_host": [
"192.168.33.13"
]
}
Am I missing something?
Disclaimer:
I am using Postman because I am lazy and because my clients will mostly be using Postman as well. So dont tell me to to use curl instead :)

Answer 1

Just encountered the same problem.
In order to send to Kong you need to add Host header, but Postman has some restricted headers that are blocked and Host is one of them.
You need to download Chrome Inspector to send the Host header.

Answer 2

You need to setup the header parameter named "Host" in order to Kong find your API.
You can see that your curl command have this parameter
-H "Host: 192.168.33.10"
