azure issue token api returning Access denied due to missing subscription key

Question

I am trying to call bing text to speech azure services but i keep getting this error on getting the access token , although the subscription key is provided

function requestAudio(text,lang)
{
    nameLanguage = "Microsoft Server Speech Text to Speech Voice (en-GB, Susan, Apollo)";
    language = lang;
    textToSpeak = text;
    $.ajax(
    {
        type: 'POST',
        url: tokenURL,
        data: 
        {  
            'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': 'xxxxxxf8cc34d08b646de1bc54c950d'
        }
    }).done(function(data) 
    { 
        token = data.access_token;
        sendAudioRequest();
    });
}

The error exactly from fiddler is

{ "statusCode": 401, "message": "Access denied due to missing subscription key. Make sure to include subscription key when making requests to an API." }

and the url i am calling is

https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/sts/v1.0/issueToken

I'm pretty sure you have to set those in the header, not in the body.

beforeSend: function(request) {
  request.setRequestHeader("Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key", 'xxxxxxf8cc34d08b646de1bc54c950d');
},
