"code": 400, "status": "BadRequest", "error": "CatalogNotConfigured", "errorCode": 1218, "errorMessage": "The request must either contain the name of the catalog or the default catalog must be configured on the title."

Player Item Management - Grant Items To Users - REST API (PlayFab Admin) | Microsoft Learn.This API is a Legacy Economy API. You can call Inventory - Add Inventory Items - REST API (PlayFab Economy) | Microsoft Learn for V2.

the add inventory item is not server authoriatative. so not secure. The grantItemsToUser(legacy) require secrect key and can grant any player the item we want. So any alternative for that?

You can set Title settings-> Economy(V2)-> policy(V2), to disable the player call AddInventoryItems. And you can call Authentication - Get Entity Token - REST API (PlayFab Authentication) | Microsoft Learn to get title entitytoken and then call AddInventoryItems as title/server authoriatative.(Not only Secret key represents server, title entitytoken also does)
