Fixing 415 Unsupported Media Type errorsEnsure that you are sending the proper Content-Type header value. Verify that your server is able to process the value defined in the Content-Type header. Check the Accept header to verify what the server is actually willing to process.
The HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type client error response code indicates that the server refuses to accept the request because the payload format is in an unsupported format. The format problem might be due to the request's indicated Content-Type or Content-Encoding , or as a result of inspecting the data directly.
Here are the three most common ways for fixing a 415 Unsupported Media Type: Make sure that you are sending the right Content-Type header value. Confirm that the server can process the value defined in the Content-Type header. Check the Accept header to see what the server can process.
