Getting raw response from the webapi - https://workiq.svc.cloud.microsoft/rest/conversations/89ede178-2e87-4ebe-844f-4002b832e475/chat

Hello, I'm seeing raw output instead of formatted and expected output. Can you please check if there are any changes to the api.

If the response appears as raw streamed chunks instead of a single formatted response, the request is likely hitting a streamed pattern rather than a complete synchronous response.

For the Work IQ Chat API, the synchronous endpoint is:

POST https://workiq.svc.cloud.microsoft/rest/conversations/{conversationId}/chat

The streamed endpoint is different:

POST https://workiq.svc.cloud.microsoft/rest/conversations/{conversationId}/chatOverStream

The documented chat endpoint remains the synchronous endpoint, and chatOverStream is the streamed endpoint. The examples also show the same request body shape for chat, such as:

{
  "message": {
    "text": "What meeting do I have at 9 AM tomorrow morning?"
  },
  "locationHint": {
    "timeZone": "America/New_York"
  }
}

Checks to make:

Verify the request is going to /chat, not /chatOverStream.
Verify the client code is not treating the response as an event stream.
If the output resembles incremental chunks, disable streaming behavior in the caller and use the synchronous request pattern.

There is no context indicating a documented API change where /chat now returns only raw streamed output by default.
