How to fix 401 Unauthorized error when using Azure AI Translator API?

Anushri Deshmukh - Solace 5

HI @VasaviLankipalle-MSFT I am using the ‘AzureATranslator’ API for text translation. After a few days of usage, I am getting this error:

StatusCode: 401, ReasonPhrase: 'Unauthorized'

I tried the following steps to get it to work but still getting the 'Unauthorized' error.

I initially used Key 1 for text translation. I changed it to Key 2. Regenerated both the keys.

endpoint = "https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com/"

headers = {

"Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": "-------",

"Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region": "-----"

}

Issue: Even after updating and regenerating the keys, I still get a 401 Unauthorized error when calling the API.

Request: Please help me identify why my API requests are being rejected and guide me on how to restore proper access.

The pricing tier I am currently working on is 'F0 Free'

Hi Anushree,

I tried the Translator API, and it worked fine for me. The documentation I used is:
https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/azure/ai-services/translator/text-translation/quickstart/rest-api?tabs=python#translate-text

Below is the code. Please paste your API key and try running it to ensure that your resource is working correctly:

import requests, uuid, json

key = "<API-KEY>"
endpoint = "https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com"

location = "eastus"

path = '/translate'
constructed_url = endpoint + path

params = {
    'api-version': '3.0',
    'from': 'en',
    'to': ['fr', 'zu']
}

headers = {
    'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': key,
    'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region': location,
    'Content-type': 'application/json',
    'X-ClientTraceId': str(uuid.uuid4())
}

body = [{
    'text': 'I would really like to drive your car around the block a few times!'
}]

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=(',', ': ')))

Apart from the API key, please also verify:

Request headers
