Hi,

As the title says, i'm very new to API's and cant figure out why i'm getting 401 unauthorised.

I am using the "example" api url with my key.

Anyone got any pointers for the noob?

thanks in advance

Mark

//key replaced with xxxxxx

EDIT: found this info: {"status_code":7,"status_message":"Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key."}
