Unsupported Media Type
Type https://defra.github.io/digital-waste-tracking-api-site/preview/problems/unsupported-media-type
Title Unsupported Media Type
Status 415

The request body is in a format the API does not accept, so it was not processed.

When this happens

The Content-Type header of the request is not a supported JSON type, for example application/xml.

Example

{
  "type": "https://defra.github.io/digital-waste-tracking-api-site/preview/problems/unsupported-media-type",
  "title": "Unsupported Media Type",
  "detail": "Unsupported Media Type",
  "instance": "/beta-1/movements",
  "requestId": "4f6c1f0e9a3b4c2d8e7f6a5b4c3d2e1f"
}

How to fix it

Send the request body as JSON with the header Content-Type: application/json.
