error: 401000 Authorization error - Azure Translator

Question

For some reason I am getting this error from endpoint:

 {'error': {'code': 401000, 'message': 'The request is unauthorized because credentials are missing or invalid.'}}  

I did nothing, any kind of change, the script done in python (3.6) was working correctly and then I started getting this error about authorization.

Tried some changes like, use endpoint for my region (westeurope), renew key, use second key, even used alternative method with "Authorization: Bearer key" instead of "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key" like documentation says but nothing works.

Here are the screenshots with the settings I hope someone can help me, thanks.

Answer 1

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Please try the following sample code (resource region is West Europe):

import requests  
import json  
  
url = "https://api-eur.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com/translate?api-version=3.0&to=fr"  
  
payload = json.dumps([  
  {  
    "Text": "Hello, what is your name?"  
  }  
])  
headers = {  
  'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': 'ENTER KEY',  
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',  
  'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region': 'westeurope'  
}  
  
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)  
  
print(response.text)  

Output:

Still getting the same error:
