Onenote - same api call returns different data

Question

i am trying to fetch all the pages in a particular section of a note. so i made the appropriate api call. from my local setup (an indian IP). and got the actual set of responses, which are correct. but when i run the exact same api call from my setup in amazon aws us-east-1 region, i am getting empty response from the api (not any server error codes). why am i getting different responses from onenote for the same api call? i have been experiencing this behaviour for some time now. where am i getting it wrong?

actual response from api, when run on local setup (from an indian IP):

actual response from api, when run on aws setup located in us-east-1:

response from api: {'@odata.context': "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users('needlnewqa%40gmail.com')/onenote/sections('0-28623E3D62E45D77%21159')/pages", 'value': []}

i feel, ip address is definitely part of something that causes the difference in responses from api.

Check the actual curl requests i made here. just removed the auth token from the request made.
