ERROR - Edamam Meal Planner Code 401

Description:

This issue is for a specific error I encountered while using the "try-out" function on the Edamam Meal Planner documentation. It is an undocumented error 401: {"message": "Missing or invalid credentials."}

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Make sure to authorize yourself using the app_id and app_key given by Edamam on the website, make sure it is the appropriate credentials
2. Once again, put the app_id into the appropriate textbox as well as your username
3. Execute the example code

Expected vs. Actual Behavior:

Expected Behavior: Return a code 200 which indicates that the request went through and it returns meals Actual Behavior: Returns a code 401 which states that I have invalid credentials

Code Snippets:

N/A

Environment Details:

Operating System: Windows 11

Investigation:

---

Objective: Investigate Error 401 and why I possibly have invalid credentials

Findings: This error is specific to /{app_id}/select which generates the meal plan based on provided materials. However /(app_id}/shopping-list which returns a shopping list returns results/hits and it uses the same credentials.

Evidence:

The FAQ on the website has nothing about this error within this context and the only thing I found online that relates to this is someone having the same error here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78055491/edamam-meal-planning-api-returning-401-error-with-valid-app-id

However, they also weren't able to find an answer either.

As of 3/4/2024 I sent Edamam an email detailing the problem.
