As per the below link, when an error occurs the request should return a JSON response with Error code and Error Message.

However, in the case of the "credentials missing or invalid" scenario, the request does not return the response body JSON. Please find the attached Postman result as well.
Can someone please confirm why the response JSON is missing for only the "credentials missing or invalid" scenario?

This behaviour is by design and is intended to prevent unauthorized access to the API. When the API receives a request with invalid or missing credentials, it does not provide any information that could potentially aid an attacker in gaining access to the API.
I hope you understand! Thank you.

2024-01-12T05:30:54.91+00:00 Hi @santoshkc , Thank you for the response. As per your comment, does it mean this was the behavior from day one? Because the request returned a JSON response previously. We observed this change very recently. Could you please confirm if this is a change that was introduced recently? If yes, when was it introduced? As per the below link, the 401000 error code must be returned for the "credentials missing or invalid" scenario. https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/translator/reference/v3-0-reference
But it is not returned in the response body. Could you also confirm whether this change is recent and whether the docs are yet to be updated?

2024-01-12T05:47:08.2233333+00:00 Hi @santoshkc , We are facing regression issues because of this, as the response body was returned earlier and not currently. Please let us know if this is how the API will work from now. Or if this is introduced recently, will there be any backward compatibility?

Thank you for your understanding!
