ColdFusion - "Datasource '' could not be found.

[KaranBattish]

I am trying to get data from a coldfusion api but on hitting the api I get this error message:

"Message": "Datasource '' could not be found."

I have subscribed to the api and have a default application setup which can produce application/json response. The authentication used is apikey which i am using for the app that I have subscribed to and everything seems to be setup fine.

Below are details for the request when i try out the api. Can someone please suggest what could be the problem.

Are you merely the user of the api, rather than the developer or someone involved in managing the cf api? If so, there's nothing you can do. You need to reach out to the developer or those managing it. They would approach this like any error, using debugging techniques, cf logs, and/or cf error handling mechanisms to find more detail about the error and its cause.
