It seems that the googleable resources (such as [this](/static-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscuss.huggingface.co%2Ft%2Fuse-gradio-with-curl%2F66318)) in how to use HF gradio API with curl no longer work?

Errors like this show up

```auto
{"detail":"This API endpoint does not accept direct HTTP POST requests. Please join the queue to use this API."}

```

I have the same question. A simple downgrade would solve the problem ?

I am also running into the same ‘Please join the queue to use this API’ errors when trying to make HTTP POST requests to a huggingface/gradio API endpoint.

Are there any ideas on how to resolve this?

i believe you can do gr.Interface.queue(api\_open=True) to enable post requests again
