Is there something wrong with my REST API requests?

in API
I have created a new API client for "Server Application". I am using Postman to test running the REST API with this API Client. I can see that it authenticates without problem, but when I test run some REST API endpoints, (with GET), they always return me with an empty result:
{ "Results": [] }
To list a few, here are some endpoints I have tested running:
- /api/v1/users/me/sessions/viewed
- /api/v1/folders/search?searchQuery=2 (Pretty sure out of so many folders we have, there must be lots of folders with names that consist of a '2' in it. )
- /api/v1/folders/{id}/children (Using my own folder's GUID)
- /api/v1/users/search?searchQuery=a (Pretty sure there are many users with an 'a' in their names)
I am not sure if there are settings I have missed.

Not sure if this is related to recent outage of service.
Hello Samuel,
Did you retry and get the results you expected?

I did retry and I am still getting empty result array back.
Hi Samuel,
Please make sure to have "Panopto" in your URL when testing with Postman such as…
https://{base_server}/Panopto/api/v1/sessions/…
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Yes, I have already included that. If I leave out /Panopto, it will just return 403 Forbidden error. But currently I am getting a 200 OK status with empty results instead.
To make this sound more complicated… when I make a POST request to
/api/v1/scheduledRecordings?resolveConflicts=false
I am getting a 401 Unauthorised error, with response:
{
"Error": {
"ErrorCode": "",
"Message": "Not authorized",
"Success": false,
"ErrorSource": null
}
}
I thought I have always been authorised as I did try to create schedules successfully via REST API before. I hope my access hasn't been downgraded… but still… I don't think me getting empty results has anything to do with my access.
Hi Samuel,
If your permissions are downgraded you would get empty results since you would not have permissions to get the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
