MailChimp API 401 error

[SinServer]

I'm trying to do a simple get request on MailChimp's API using the 'Ping' feature to test API health and i keep getting an error message stating i've not provided my API key when I have, i tried creating a new API but still have the same issue, please see the action in the image; the response i get is:

{

  "type": "https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/docs/errors/",

  "title": "API Key Invalid",

  "status": 401,

  "detail": "Your request did not include an API key.",

}

Any help would be very much appreciated as I don't have a clue what I'm doing wrong.

Hi,

I think the problem is with the headers you are using.

I looked at https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/docs/fundamentals/#connecting-to-the-api

So I think you should change the header "apiKey" to "Authorization" and then in the value field put "Bearer <yourkey>"

Or as the mailchimp allows the http basic authentication you enable that under the "show advanced options" then set the username to "anystring" and password to your apiKey
