IBM Watson: Invalid API Key

I'm trying to make requests on the Visual Recognition API and getting the response error below:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2016 13:53:07 GMT
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 67
Connection: close
Cache-Control: no-cache
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

{
    "status": "ERROR",
    "statusInfo": "invalid-api-key"
}

I've already tried to recreate my account and the Visual Recognition Service many times this week, and the API Key provided by Bluemix is always invalid.

Solution

  • This is the same problem raised in IBM Watson visual recognition - invalid API key and Watson Visual Recognition - error 401. The Visual Recognition service is currently experiencing problems recognizing keys; the development team is working to resolve the problem. There is additional discussion of this issue on the IBM developerWorks Answers forum. For issues with specific keys, you can open a Bluemix support ticket.
