API Keys - Error code: 401

Forum
1

I’m building an app where I wanted to try Groq over GPT.

I created a free key and it worked beautifully, so I decided to sign up and create an account for billing.

For about an hour, things were working, but then my key would return a 401/Invalid API Key.
If I created a new key, it worked for a short while, and then stopped again.

Now I’m at the point where every key I create immediately gives me a 401?

I tried setting up a different free account, and have the exact same problem now.

I’ve tried using it in CURL and a small simple/local py script, but every time a 401 (with the exception of 1 or 2 that might work before its back to 401)

Anyone else having 401 errors with new API Keys?

Replying to own thread. Looks like the API 401 authorization error is now only happening from one of my source IP’s im testing from. Seems Groq is randomly blocking my IP for a period of time. my TPS is very low so unsure why that would be. But at least from one source IP, its now responding again… I imagine it will block again soon though.
