You're exactly right... I had "APIKey" as the key value instead of "Authorization". Changing my setup to match yours fixed the issue.

Thanks so much!

Authorization Error using API Key

sysrdy1505 — Sat, 28 Oct 2023 02:54:21 GMT

Greetings,

I recently created my Method trial account and just completed syncing my QuickBooks company file. I would like to use the REST API to retrieve customer records and other data. I created a new API key using the Integrations/API section of my dashboard. I then downloaded the sample Postman collection to run some tests.

Using Postman, I set the authentication type to API Key and entered the key to be passed in the HTTP headers. In my authorization header, my key name is "APIKey" and the value is my generated key from the dashboard. I am sending requests to https://rest.method.me, but all are being rejected with a 401 (unauthorized). My understanding is that I do not need to use the OAuth flow, and simply sending the API key in the authorization header is sufficient. I have not performed any other user-related setup other than generating the key.

Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong?

Thank you.
