Suggested Resolution

Ensure your Authentication header is present in the Bearer {token} format. Use the token endpoint to get a new access token.

ā€‹
Troubleshooting Steps

Refer to our API reference and ensure that you use the correct authentication mechanism for your request
  • Check constants like Bearer for spelling mistakes.
  • Use the oauth2/token endpoint to get a new access token. Access tokens over an hour old have likely expired.
