SendAccountRecoveryEmail returns InvalidAPIEndpoint error

I am on Unity 2018.3.0 and using this code to request a password recovery email:

var request = new SendAccountRecoveryEmailRequest { Email = email};
PlayFabClientAPI.SendAccountRecoveryEmail(request, OnRecoveryEmailSendSuccess, OnRecoveryEmailSendFailed);

The call fails with the error message: /Client/SendAccountRecoveryEmail: InvalidAPIEndpoint

I have entered the TitleId in the settings and I am able to sign in and post scores to leaderboards so surely that's not the problem. What else can cause this error?

Please check this API Send Account Recovery Email. TitleId is required in the request body. Please add it.

var request = new SendAccountRecoveryEmailRequest { Email = email, TitleId = titleId };

Thank you, that was it! But I am surprised that the title id needs to be explicitly specified for this api call. There are many other calls that require the title id but I don't need to specify it explicitly in the request. I just assumed that the request class must be inserting it automatically wherever it is required.

Having come accross this solution when running into the same issue.

Is there a reason this function call doesn't include grabbing the TitleID from PlayFabSettings like the other functions within PlayFabClientAPI?

var callSettings = PlayFabSettings.staticSettings;
request.TitleId = request.TitleId ?? callSettings.TitleId;

Seems odd that some functions do this but others don't as it seem arbitary
