PersonGroup - List/Request URL

Question

HI
Very green user here - just getting my head around alot of this.

Using the console, I can retrieve the list no problems, but what I would like to know is, when i copy & paste the request url (https://australiaeast.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/face/v1.0/persongroups?top=1000&returnRecognitionModel=false) into my browser, i get this error code:
{"error":{"code":"401","message":"Access denied due to invalid subscription key or wrong API endpoint. Make sure to provide a valid key for an active subscription and use a correct regional API endpoint for your resource."}}

Is this normal, because the url does not have my api key in the path?

I also get the same error, when i use a http request node in node red!!

just after some guidance
Thanks

Answer 1

@Adam It looks like you pasted the link directly in your browser window. Please use the API console and provide your keys and the request body to get the response. Here is the link for Austraila.

You can add additional parameters and refine your results if required.

Answer 2

You must use the same region in your REST API call as you used to obtain your subscription keys.

Answer 3

Thanks.
My region matches the api url

@romungi-MSFT
Yes, Correct! I was pasting the link directly in my browser, and as I suspected, it didn't work because the subscription key was not present.
I was trying to work out why my Node Red HTTP node was not working. It was because i was not passing the sub key in as a msg.header

All working now.
Thanks
