You are missing a configuration on your view, please do the following:

Edit the view you are exposing your REST export > In the format section click on the Settings link > In the Accept Request formats check the JSON option > Click on the apply button > Save the changes to your view.

Now you should have the JSON response without adding the query "?_format=json".

Cheers!

I also get the client error. I simply used the same path and added ?_format=json at the end of the URL and it's working.

This worked perfect. It also works nice for xml format too with ?_format=xml – C13L0 Apr 06 '22 at 13:56
