Azure Correlation Id and Request ID

Question

I have an Azure account and I am making AD API calls for that account using postman, due to some issue I contacted Microsoft and they are asking for Correlation ID and request ID for the same, where can I find these two things?

This is the API I have been calling https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/graph/api/user-delta?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

You can find this information in the response headers. For example, when I execute a failed request, this is what I get in the response headers when I use Graph Explorer:

{
    "cache-control": "no-cache",
    "client-request-id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "content-type": "application/json",
    "preference-applied": "odata.track-changes",
    "request-id": "yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy"
}

I was not able to find any documentation however I believe client-request-id response header is the correlation id and request-id response header is the request id you're looking for.

For errors, this information is also included in the error response body:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "Authorization_RequestDenied",
        "message": "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.",
        "innerError": {
            "date": "2021-07-09T12:50:35",
            "request-id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
            "client-request-id": "yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy"
        }
    }
}

UPDATE

Based on Where's the Correlation ID in the Graph API Response?, client-request-id is the correlation id.
