Steps to reproduce

1. Create an integration and get the access token
2. Using the token, make a call to POST /V1/customers API to create customer

Expected result

• https://example.magento.test/rest/<store_code>/V1/customers api should work

Actual result

Getting 400 Bad request error:
{
"message": "Specified request cannot be processed."
}

Additional information

Tested with the provided instance:
POST <magento-url>/rest/<store_code>/V1/customers throws error

POST <magento-url>/rest/<store_view_code>/V1/customers works fine

However, the first API endpoint is given in the documentation.

[NOTE: In my client project, only this endpoint is working: <magento_url>/<store_view_code>/rest/V1/customers!]
