Fix API Errors

If something breaks, this page tells you exactly what to check.

Common problems

  • Using the key in browser code (blocked by security best practices).
  • Conference is not live yet (API keys won’t work).
  • Plan has ended (keys automatically stop working).
  • Missing scopes (key can’t access that endpoint).
  • Module disabled (endpoint blocked even if scope exists).

401 Unauthorized

Your key is missing, invalid, revoked, or expired.

Fix
text
1) Confirm the request sends X-API-Key
2) Confirm you copied the full key (cat_...)
3) Create a new key if you lost the secret
4) Check if the key was revoked

403 Forbidden

The key is valid, but access is blocked by security rules.
