I get a 403 "You must specify an API key to make request" when trying to get data from a 3rd party API (Klaviyo).
const { id } = req.body
request.get({
url: `https://a.klaviyo.com/api/v1/person/${id}`,
headers: {
api_key: process.env.KLAVIYO_API_KEY
}
}, (error, response, body) => {
const profile = JSON.parse(body)
console.log(profile)
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
res.json({ profile, status: 201 })
} else {
res.json({ error: 'Did not get customer data', status: 500, response: response, err: error })
}
})
I've also tried with:
headers: {"Authorization": [API_KEY]}
data: {api_key: [API_KEY]}
Solution:
const { id } = req.body
request.get({
url: `https://a.klaviyo.com/api/v1/person/${id}`,
qs: {
api_key: process.env.KLAVIYO_API_KEY
}
}, (error, response, body) => {
const profile = JSON.parse(body)
console.log(profile)
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
res.json({ profile, status: 201 })
} else {
res.json({ error: 'Did not get customer data', status: 500, response: response, err: error })
}
})
Short answer: add it under params.api_key (as part of the GET request).
From the klaviyo documentation:
"You authenticate to the People API by providing one of your private API keys as part of each request. (...) Authentication happens via the api_key parameter in each request. It can be sent as part of the GET or POST parameters."
