API returning authorization error

[Adam Nekola]

Hello all, I'm posting for the first time here.

I've been playing around with the OCD API for a project I'm working on and have been particularly excited about the divisions endpoint. I've found it to be an excellent way to return jurisdictions for an address and I look forward to exploring the API more. Excellent job to everyone involved.

But, I am writing for help. I notice in the API docs that there was a recent refactoring, and I don't see any mention of changes in the group. 

I'm using the endpoint like so: https://api.opencivicdata.org/divisions/?lat=41.697922&lon=-88.11151799999999&apikey=__APIKEY__

I'm getting the following error:

{"error": "Authorization Required: obtain a key at http://sunlightfoundation.com/api/accounts/register/#ocd"}

Yet the Foundation website assures me that my key is active.

Thanks very much for any help; I look forward to following and contributing to the community!

Hey Adam,

Sorry to hear that, would you mind contacting me off-list with more information (API key, exact URL, etc), I'd love to look into it.

Thanks!
