Unauthenticated

What it means

Auto doesn't know who sent the request, so it didn't act on it. The request had no credential, or its API key or sign-in token isn't one Auto accepts.

What to do

Read the problem's detail first. It says what happened to this request.

  • Send the credential as Authorization: Bearer <key>: an API key, or the token of a person who signed in.
  • Check that the API key is copied in full and is one the server still accepts.
  • If a sign-in token was refused, the detail says why. Sign in again to get a new token.
