Why am I getting a 404 status error on my PUT request?

Question

I'm getting a HTTP 404 on a PUT request as shown below:

$(function(){
$("#showMovies").click(function() {
  $.ajax({
    method:"GET",
    url: "http://localhost:3000/movielist",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function (response) {
      $.each(response, function(i, movie) {
        const rowText = "" +
          "" + movie.idmovielist + "" +
          "" + movie.name + "" +
          "" + movie.thumbnail_path + "" +
          "" + movie.description + "" +

          "" + "" + "";
        $("#movies").append(rowText);
      });
    }
  });
});

So whenever I try to execute my put request I always get this error of status code 404 not found and also My get post and delete are working just fine it is just my put request what can I do to fix it. Also I was able to get this working n my web browser because I forgot to add a function

app.put('/movielist/id',(req,res) =>{
let update = req.body;
mysqlConnection.query("UPDATE movielist SET year_released = '2000' WHERE idmovielist = '6'",
[update.year_released, update.idmovielist,req.params.id],
(err, results)  => {
    if (!err) {
      res.send("Movie list is updated");
    } else {
      console.log(err);
    }
});
});

Also my post request code

app.post('/movielist/addMovie',(req, res) => {
   mysqlConnection.query("INSERT INTO movielist (idmovielist, name, thumnail_path, description, year_released,language_released) VALUES ('10', 'Bubble Gum', 'yourieiri.jpg', 'Disturbing', '2007', 'french');",
   req.body,
   (err,rows) => {
     if (!err) {
       res.send("Movie is added");
     } else {
       console.log(err);
     }
  });
});


  app.get('/movielist',(req,res)=> {
    mysqlConnection.query("SELECT * FROM movielist", (err, rows,fields)=> {
      if (!err) {
        res.send(rows);
      } else {
        console.log(err);
      }
    });
  });
 app.delete('/movielist/:id',(req,res) => {
    mysqlConnection.query("DELETE FROM movielist WHERE idmovielist = ?",[req.params.id],(err,rows,fields) =>{
      if (!err) {
        res.send("Movie is deleted");
      } else {
      console.log(err);
    }
    });
  });
app.post('/movielist/addMovie',(req, res) => {
   mysqlConnection.query("INSERT INTO movielist (idmovielist, name, thumnail_path, description, year_released,language_released) VALUES ('10', 'Bubble Gum', 'yourieiri.jpg', 'Disturbing', '2007', 'french');",
   req.body,
   (err,rows) => {
     if (!err) {
       res.send("Movie is added");
     } else {
       console.log(err);
     }
  });
});
app.put('/movielist/:id',(req,res) =>{
let update = req.body;
mysqlConnection.query("UPDATE movielist SET year_released = '2000' WHERE idmovielist = '6'",
[update.year_released, update.idmovielist,req.params.id],
(err, results)  => {
    if (!err) {
      res.send("Movie list is updated");
    } else {
      console.log(err);
    }
});
});

I think you need to change this:

app.put('/movielist/id',(req,res) =>{

to this:

app.put('/movielist/:id',(req,res) =>{

In nodejs with express framework, in order to use /link/parameter/, parameter needs to be declared with :.
