I just set up the RapidAPI Client extension in Visual Studio Code and managed to log in successfully. However, I keep getting an error message that says ‘Cannot load projects’ whenever I try to access my projects.
The extension shows that I’m signed in and ready to sync, but I can’t actually create any new projects in VS Code that would connect to my RapidAPI Studio account. This is really frustrating because everything seems to be connected properly.
I’m using a MacBook and I’m still learning how to use these development tools. Has anyone else run into this problem? I’m wondering if there’s a simple fix I’m missing or if this is a common issue with the extension. Any help would be great since I’m stuck and can’t move forward with my project.
I encountered a similar issue recently. It appears that the problem could be related to the folder permissions in your workspace. Ensure that the directory where you are trying to create the projects has the correct write permissions. You might want to try running Visual Studio Code with elevated privileges. Additionally, clearing the cache of the RapidAPI extension might resolve some transient errors. If the issue persists, a complete reinstallation of the extension followed by a restart of VS Code and signing in again could help, as the initial setup may have been disrupted.
I’ve seen this exact issue before. RapidAPI extension gets weird with corporate firewalls and VPNs - even when auth works perfectly, it’ll still fail to load projects. Try disconnecting your VPN first. If that doesn’t work, check for proxy settings blocking the API calls. Same thing happened on my work machine - I could authenticate but couldn’t fetch any project data because our firewall was blocking those requests. Quick test: switch to mobile hotspot and see if it works. That’ll tell you if it’s network-related. The auth and project loading hit different endpoints, so one can work while the other gets blocked.
same bug hit me last week on mac! the extension gets stuck even after login works. here’s what fixed it: sign out of the extension completely, then restart vscode (don’t just reload the window). sign back in after restart and it’ll pull your projects correctly. there’s definitely a session issue that only a full restart clears.
