Rails: Error making get request to local server - ruby-on-rails

Question

New to ruby/rails, haven't been able to find a lot of resources and/or latest stack overflow threads on this topics so posting
I can see api/articles route when in command line when I try rails route, however, when trying to make a get request I am receiving the error
ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches [GET] \"/api/articles\"
Below are my relevant files.
routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
namespace :api do
resources :articles, only: [:index, :show]
end
end
articles_controller.rb
module Api
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
def index
articles = Article.order('created_at DESC');
render json: {
status: 'success', message: 'loaded articles', data: articles
},
status: :ok
end
end
Articles model
class Article < ApplicationRecord
validates :title, presence :true
validates :body, presence :true
end
full stacktrace:
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/api/articles"):
