Missing API-KEY error

Rapid account: Thirzahemert

Hi,

Whenever I try to send a request via my app, and even when testing endpoint on here, it gives the following error.

“errors”:{1 item
"token":“Error/Missing application key. Go to https://www.api-football.com/documentation-v3 to learn how to get your API application key.”
}

Even though the API_KEY is there, and I’m using the code snippet that is automatically generated.

I’d just consult the documentation on whatever you are using to call the API with (OKHttp in your case). You only need to pass two header parameters, the rest are on the query string, so it’s not complicated. I’d rely on your library’s documentation rather than some generated code.

Postman is a good tool for testing calling the APIs and you can save all your requests in collections. It can also generate OkHttp from a request, which looks a bit different to the code generated on here.

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient().newBuilder()
.build();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(“https://api-football-v1.p.rapidapi.com/whatever”)
.method(“GET”, null)
.addHeader(“x-rapidapi-key”, “whatever”)
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

@christatedavies When I test the endpoint under the endpoints tab it doesn’t work either. I’m not pasting anything, literally just testing the code snippet it has automatically generated for me when I select Java(OkHttp) and click “Test endpoint”

Make sure you’ve correctly pasted the syntax

CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
‘x-rapidapi-host’: ‘api-football-v1.p.rapidapi.com’,
‘x-rapidapi-key’: ‘{your key here}’
]

Is NOT the same as

CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
‘x-rapidapi-host: api-football-v1.p.rapidapi.com’,
‘x-rapidapi-key: {your key here}’
]

Subtle difference, but a difference that matters
