HereMaps - These credentials do not authorize access. Can't get valid response for Public Transit API


I have registered for a public 90-day free trial on HereMaps few days ago and I can't get a valid response for a public transit api. Routing works properly but that API doesn't. I call example request from documentation with my valid credentials:

https://transit.cit.api.here.com/v3/route.json
?app_id={APP_ID}
&app_code={APP_CODE}
&routing=all
&dep=41.9773,-87.9019
&arr=41.8961,-87.6552
&time=2017-12-11T07%3A30%3A00

after calling it, I receive that response:

{
    "Res": {
        "serviceUrl": "https://transit.cit.api.here.com/transit/v3/route.json",
        "Message": {
            "code": "I4",
            "level": "E",
            "text": "These credentials do not authorize access. Please contact your customer representative or submit a request here https://developer.here.com/contact-us to upgrade your account. You can also get valid credentials by registering for a free trial license on https://developer.here.com."
        }
    }
}

Any idea, what I'm doing wrong? I thought, that It might be due non-updated database on server-side, bud this seems to not be the problem. Thanks for your time.
