Couldn't get any sounds because of 401 error:

{
"detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."
}

But I'm passing token as it should be and it was working earlier.

What country are you in?

It's possible it's blocked in your country.

From Georgia. Is there a list of countries that could be blocked?

I'm having the same problem, as of today I receive this response "Authentication credentials were not provided." when using the same GET request using &token=... that worked until now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

This is a API related question and should better be placed in the API mailing list. Nevertheless I can answer here. Is this when trying to get the access token or for any endpoint? Is is possible that you’re passing parameters in the query string instead than as POST parameters?

Hi, Sorry if I posted in wrong place. This happens on every endpoint and all of them are GET methods. And it was working as usual until yesterday after server was down and I haven't change anything.
