API Key formatting #37

Closed katvvisdom closed 5 years ago

katvvisdom commented 5 years ago

Forgive me if this discussed elsewhere. I'm getting an error during the execution: "{ "statusCode": 401, "message": "Access denied due to improperly formed hibp-api-key." }" I simply copied the key off the receipt page and pasted into the prompt. I've deleted key.txt a couple times to try again. No go. Thanks

@klaritykarrot I have updated, please try again, it should work now... cd pwnedornot git pull

where is the Key to enter?

I have the same issue, but it was down to a mis-type of the API Key. How can I change/update this? Rather than being prompted to re-input my key I just get told its improperly formatted.

Thank you

thewhiteh4t commented 4 years ago

@bezzoh inside pwnedornot directory you will see key.txt, you can make changes in that file

thewhiteh4t commented 4 years ago

@bezzoh if you copy paste it, sometimes a new line gets added, maybe that is the issue in your case

All sorted, thanks for your help
