The HTTP 415 error message "Unsupported Media Type" means that the server is unable to process the request because the payload format is not supported. This often happens when a client sends a request with an incorrect or unsupported Content-Type header.
In relation to JSON, the error occurs when the server is expecting a different payload format or when the Content-Type header is not set to "application/json". This error can also occur if the JSON payload is malformed and cannot be parsed by the server.
To fix this error, the client should ensure that the Content-Type header is set to "application/json" and that the JSON payload is properly formatted. The server may need to be configured to accept JSON payloads and set the appropriate content type header.
