401 Everywhere

[REtroGeekery]

Every section of this app just gives me "Error: HTTP 401" I cannot get it to do anything.

HTTP 401 is Unauthorized. Did you enter a valid API key during initial setup?

Yes, I signed into Comic Vine and got one. I have no idea why it's doing this.

You can send me your API key so I can check it out. On Telegram (same nickname as GitHub) or e-mail (proninyaroslav at gmail com)

I checked your key and it works. Perhaps your ISP partially blocks ComicVine? Or do you have a VPN installed? Please try to run this URL in your browser (and don't forget to paste your key) and send me the result here: https://comicvine.gamespot.com/api/character/4005-1443/?api_key=PASTE YOUR API KEY HERE

Outside of this result, the website always works fine in my browser; it's only the app that has the 401 error. I don't have a VPN installed.

Yes, it works in the browser. Try to change the key in the app settings, insert it again, it's possible that a typo was made or something like that.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

That must have been it. I re-entered the API and it's working now. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the assistance. Have a nice evening!
