MIcrosoft translator API is not working

Question

Hi team,

We are using microsoft azure services and we have created a resource to translate the text api with the following end point:
For this api end point: "https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com/translate?api-version=3.0&to=fr"
We are getting error "{"error":{"code":401000,"message":"The request is not authorized because credentials are missing or invalid."}}"
We have passed the following in the headers:
Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key
Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region
Content-Type

@arpit.malviya Based on the error message are you using the correct keys of Azure translator resource? How are you passing the keys in the header?
Please try this script in python by replacing your key values from the translator resource.

import requests, uuid, json  
  
# Add your subscription key and endpoint  
subscription_key = "replace_your_key"  
endpoint = "https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com"  
  
# Add your location, also known as region. The default is global.  
# This is required if using a Cognitive Services resource.  
location = "global"  
  
path = '/translate'  
constructed_url = endpoint + path  
  
params = {  
    'api-version': '3.0',  
    'from': 'en',  
    'to': ['de', 'it']  
}  
constructed_url = endpoint + path  
  
headers = {  
    'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': subscription_key,  
    'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region': location,  
    'Content-type': 'application/json',  
    'X-ClientTraceId': str(uuid.uuid4())  
}  
  
# You can pass more than one object in body.  
body = [{  
    'text': 'Hello World!'  
}]  
  
request = requests.post(constructed_url, params=params, headers=headers, json=body)  
response = request.json()  
  
print(json.dumps(response, sort_keys=True, ensure_ascii=False, indent=4, separators=(',', ': ')))  

This script should print the following response:
