URGENT - Critical Bug - 401 Unauthorized on NEWLY ...

Hello VAPI Team, I am facing a critical 401 Unauthorized - Invalid Key error that is completely blocking my account. I have now exhausted all possible troubleshooting steps, including regenerating all my API keys. Here is the situation: I am trying to make a basic API request using cURL (curl https://api.vapi.ai/logs -H "Authorization: Bearer "). The request consistently fails with a 401 Unauthorized - Invalid Key error. To solve this, I have just completely deleted my old VAPI API key and generated a brand new one. The error still persists with the new key. This proves the issue is not a wrong key, a syntax error, or a client-side problem. It appears to be a fundamental issue with key validation or account provisioning on your backend. My project is completely stopped. Please investigate the authentication logs for my account immediately and resolve this issue. My Account / Org: inlliyaku@gmail.com's Org Thank you.

Hi fuser33, To address the 401 Unauthorized error you're encountering with newly generated API keys, here are a few steps to consider: 1. 1. API Key Format: - Must use the
Bearer
prefix - Keys should be from the correct environment (development/production) - Check for any whitespace or hidden characters 2. Proper API Key Usage:
Copy code
curl -X GET "https://api.vapi.ai/logs" \-H "Authorization: Bearer vapi_xxxx_xxxx"
Common causes of 401 errors: 1. Using a development key in production (or vice versa) 2. Using an organization-level key for admin-level endpoints 3. Key has been revoked or expired 4. Account status issues Since you've already: - Regenerated your API key - Verified the syntax - Confirmed it's a backend issue Can you provide us with: - Your organization ID - The exact timestamp of failed requests - Sample of the failed request headers - Your account email
