Здравко is correct, it looks like your code/client is just sending the wrong "Content-Type" request header, and these endpoints don't take any parameters, so that header isn't required anyway. You mentioned you are attempting to set the header correctly, but it's possible whatever HTTPS client you're using is overriding that. You may need to refer to the documentation for your client for information on configuring it accordingly.
