Edge Function 404 error response

Last edited: 5/27/2026

The edge function is not recognized by Supabase

Context for the error#

If the Supabase Edge Function Runtime does not recognize the function specified in the URL endpoint:

1
https://PROJECT_REF.supabase.co/functions/v1/UNRECOGNIZED_FUNCTION_NAME

then the runtime will return a 404 error.

Solving the error#

Step 1: Identifying the error#

If the tests return a 404 but do not match the criteria below, the error is coming from your app's logic.

Inspecting the return message from the request#

Platform 404 errors cannot be detected in the browser. Instead, to confirm 404s from the browser, you must check the logs instead.

Browsers misreport 404s as generic CORS errors. As a result, the Supabase JavaScript client surfaces only a generic message: Failed to send a request to the Edge Function.

When an edge function fails due to a platform 404 error, it will return the error:

1
{
2
  "code": "NOT_FOUND",
3
  "message": "Requested function was not found"
4
}

Inspecting the logs#

Always configure an appropriate time frame when using the log explorer

You cannot inspect the function dashboard to find platform 404 errors, instead, run the below query in the log explorer. The results show all requests that reached Supabase but were rejected as unrecognizable.

1
select distinct
2
  req.pathname as function_name,
3
  res.status_code,
4
  case
5
    when metadata.execution_id is null then 'FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND'
6
    else 'FUNCTION RECOGNIZED: custom 404 message in app logic'
7
  end as type_of_404
8
from
9
  function_edge_logs
10
  cross join UNNEST(metadata) as metadata
11
  cross join UNNEST(metadata.request) as req
12
  cross join UNNEST(metadata.response) as res
13
where status_code = 404
14
limit 10;

Step 2: Check the function for typos#

In your code, make sure your function name doesn't have any typos, such as:

miscapitalization
em-dashes instead of dashes
misplaced characters
unnecessary slashes ///

Step 3: Try calling the function from the dashboard#

When selecting your function in the Function Dashboard, you should have the option to make a test call:

If the call works, consider double checking your code for typos or to see if it is overwriting the function name dynamically. Otherwise, go on to step 4.

Step 4: Redeploy the function#

If step 3 fails, it may be a sign of an internal bug and it may be necessary to redeploy your function. This can be done within the Function Dashboard under the respective function's code tab:

Alternatively, if you develop locally, you can redeploy the function with the Supabase CLI:

1
supabase functions deploy FUNCTION_NAME
2
3
# If you want to deploy all functions, run the `deploy` command without specifying a function name:
4
supabase functions deploy

Then write in a ticket to Supabase Support
