Odata: unable to create platform context.
Hi Anonymous,
Based on my research, the above error could occur when SharePoint lists have calculated fields. Do you get any errors when removing calculated columns from SharePoint list?
There is a similar thread for your reference.

I know this is a very old thread, but there are very few threads on this topic and I just found another cause.
I mistakenly called the odata query on the root sharepoint site:
https://XXXX.sharepoint.com/_api/projectdata/Projects
rather than the pwa site following
https://XXXX.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Projects
The error message was 100% correct, it was a simple typo on my part, but took a while to work it out. Hope this helps someone else.
