When I call GET vapi assistant I am getting a 404 error as shown in the image, whereas the assistant exists and is being displayed correctly inside VAPI dashboard. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1358780185746346206/1358780186123960330/Screenshot_2025-04-07_at_5.43.22_PM.png?ex=67f51629&is=67f3c4a9&hm=345b11c69d354b44f7c541593c46d409d874df21d21c9915b369f6e416c9b082&

I see you're getting a 404 error when trying to access your assistant via the API, even though it's visible in the VAPI dashboard. Let me help you troubleshoot this issue. Could you please confirm the following details to help narrow down the cause: 1. Are you including the proper Authorization header in your request? The GET assistant API requires an
Authorization
header with a bearer token in the format
Bearer <token>
as mentioned in the [API documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/assistants/get). 2. Have you recently created this assistant or made any changes to it? There might be a data synchronization delay between the dashboard and the API. 3. Are you using the same API credentials (API key) that are associated with the account where you can see the assistant in the dashboard? 4. Have you tried accessing any other assistants through the API to see if the issue is specific to this particular assistant ID? This information will help me provide more targeted troubleshooting steps for your 404 error. Source: - [API documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/assistants/get)
