The most common cause of this is not having the Title ID set correctly in the build. The URL endpoint for any call to PlayFab will always be https:{TitleID}.playfabapi.com/... (with the client, server, matchmaker, or admin api reference to follow).
I came across the exact same error today after upgrading to Unity 2017.1.0f3, even though I hadn't touched the code. Anytime the SDK updates or in this case, Unity has an update, you'll have to go into the PlayFab settings. I figured where else would it store that info, in my case using the Editor Extension, and noticed that in the Settings tab the Studio had defaulted back to the _Override_ setting. So even if the Title ID is set correctly in the code, as @Brendan said it's the build itself, PlayFab's settings.
