HP ALM | REST API Error ALM-E10004: Failed to load project? - api

Question

I am using HP ALM Version 11.52.809.
After authenticating, I'm trying to fetch the list of domains using the following REST-API :
http://19.17.16.69:7424/qcbin/rest/domains
I am receiving the following error :
HTTP ERROR 500
Problem accessing /qcbin/rest/domains. Reason:
ALM-E10004: Failed to load project 'null' from domain 'null'.
Caused by:
java.lang.NullPointerException

What is causing this error? Is there is any setting or privilege which needs to be done on ALM Side?
Thanks in advance :)

Without seeing the actual code, one can only guess what has been done. With that said, here is the documentation from Microfocus which will be helpful.
Domains:
https://admhelp.microfocus.com/alm/api_refs/REST_TECH_PREVIEW/Content/REST_API_Tech_Preview/REST/domains.html?Highlight=domain
Projects:

When asking question please provide the code that you have tried, even if its a API request, it matters how you authenticate, whether the contentType and other header information has been passed correctly or not. So, update your question with some real code.
