Hey guys I’m in a bit of a pickle with my fitness website. I built this cool site that shows different workouts using data from an API. The problem is my old API key stopped working so I got a new one. I thought that would fix everything but nope! I’m still getting a 404 error when I try to load the exercises.
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here. Has anyone run into something like this before? Maybe there’s a step I’m missing after updating the API key? Or could it be something else entirely?
I’d really appreciate any tips or advice on how to troubleshoot this. It’s driving me crazy! Thanks for any help you can offer!
I ran into a similar situation recently and found that the issue often lies in a few small oversights. Sometimes, after switching to a new API key, not all references in the code are updated, so it’s worth verifying each instance. Also, checking that the new key is active and configured with the correct permissions is essential. It’s possible that even the endpoint URL might shift slightly with a new key. I suggest testing the API call independently, maybe with a tool like Postman, and then reviewing any configuration changes.
Have you checked if the new API key is properly activated? Sometimes there’s a delay between getting a new key and it becoming fully operational. It might be worth double-checking your account dashboard to ensure the key is active and has the correct permissions.
Another thing to consider is whether the API endpoint itself has changed. Some providers modify their URLs or paths when issuing new keys. I’d recommend reviewing the API documentation to confirm you’re using the correct URL structure with your updated key.
If those checks don’t reveal the issue, it might be helpful to examine your server logs or use browser developer tools to see if there are any specific error messages beyond the 404. This could provide more detailed insights into what’s going wrong with the API calls.
hey luke, sry to hear ur having trouble. have u tried clearing ur browser cache? sometimes old data gets stuck n causes weird errors. also, double check ur using the new key in ALL places, not just one spot. good luck man, hope u get it sorted!
