API returns 401 even though my key looks correct

#55 Resolved
Christopher C. 238 days ago

Getting a 401 Unauthorized on every API call. I copied the key directly from the dashboard so I don't think it's a typo.

Carol Wright Staff 238 days ago

A couple of common causes: are you sending the key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header (Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY), or somewhere else like a query parameter? We only accept it in the header. Also worth double-checking there's no trailing whitespace or newline character if you copied it from a file rather than directly from the dashboard.

I was passing it as a query param actually, not the header. Switched to the Authorization header and it's working now.
