Confusing error messages
While trying to get this to work in Postman before the meeting earlier I was sent on some tangents by the error messages provided in some circumstances.
For example, when I was trying to get a list of tables (I now know the endpoint isn't ready) I assumed it would be a GET request. However, the error that was returned said that my JWT token was malformed. I realise it's a knucklehead mistake on my part, but it was frustrating for a while.
Another example was when I entered the wrong endpoint. In the documentation for the authorization if you hit the dropdown on the example on the right the url provided is:
https://data-access-platform.example.com/api
This returns a 403, with a "Missing Authentication Token" message. This should be a 404.

Hi @dsweeney2 , Thank you for your feedback. I have added a work item for the team to adjust these error messages but for now you might still get such until we can address them.
In the meantime, if you wanted to try importing the OpenAPI spec into Postman, then some (not all) of these issues can potentially be avoided.
