Getting 401 with custom app

Custom Apps
,

Hi. I am building a custom app for the shortener TinyURL.com using URL Shortener, Branded Short Links & Analytics | TinyURL and keep getting a 401. I am either really close to being done or really far :slight_smile: I would appreciate having my code looked over. I removed all default comments in case tinyurl is not jsonc compatible. TIA

Base:

	"baseUrl": "https://api.tinyurl.com",          
	"headers": {                                          
		"Authorization": "Bearer {{connection.apiToken}}"  
	},

	"response": {
		"error": {                                        
			"message": "[{{statusCode}}] {{body.error}}"  
		}
	},

	"log": {

I tried the same setup with what you have done and was able to Create a Token.

Maybe the token/key you are using is invalid? Can you try this app and see if you are getting the same error?

I think the “copy api” button in my tinyurl.com account was keeping whitespace on both ends of the key that were not being trimmed. I got it to work and completed it. Thank you
