I added below code in plugin.rb file.
```
DiscourseRatings::Engine.routes.draw do
post "/rate" => "rating#rate"
post "/remove" => "rating#remove"
get '/getratings' => 'rating#getRatings'
end
```
I am able to use get “ratings” url which is /rating/getratings in AJAX Call. but when i use this url with `t2.metastudio.org` domain name e.g `https://t2.metastudio.org/rating/getratings`. discourse says
> Oops! That page doesn’t exist or you may have to login to see it!
For example i can access categories data in using following url which is `https://t2.metastudio.org/categories.json`
likewise i want to access plugins get urls.
Could you tell me how to define urls in a plugin which are accessible publicly ?

Basically, you need to look up how the rails routes and engines work. Routes map the urls with rails controllers’ actions. Also do refer to this guide. Its my favourite discoursd tutorial. [How to create a Discourse plugin – kleinfreund.de](https://kleinfreund.de/how-to-create-a-discourse-plugin/)

I am able to access newly defined get url which is get **“/getbadges” =\> “categories#getBadges”**
I defined GET url which is **get “/getbadges” =\> “categories#getBadges”** in routes.rb file.
and below getBadges method in categories\_controller.rb file
```
def getBadges
json_data = {"name":"siddhu"}
render json: json_data
end
```
I ran local disocurse instance and try to access defined get url [http://localhost:9292/getbadges](http://localhost:9292/getbadges).
