What causes this issue?

The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating
response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable
according to the accept headers sent in the request.
Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity
containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s)
from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate.
The entity format is specified by the media type given in the
Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the
capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice
MAY be performed automatically. However, this specification does not
define any standard for such automatic selection.
If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily
stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further
actions.
