Environment

Release : 20.x, 21.x, 22.x

Cause

• You need to pass the correct header allong with the request   
• The options are:  application/xml OR application/json

Resolution

The script or tool being used for the REST call needs to pass the header as application/json.

Here is an example using the Postman application:

Under headers add Accept - application/json and it will return with correct JSON formatting.
