If you're trying to create an envelope then the right URL to use is

POST https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/accounts/1be73a9a-a25a-4221-8188-385a6a815b5b/envelopes/

Not https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/accounts/1be73a9a-a25a-4221-8188-385a6a815b5b/envelopes/101

You may also want to look at the recipe for sending an envelope.

Also, you should protect your integration key and your password. So please make a new integrator key and delete the one that you have shared on StackOverflow.
