My apps that used the API key to Zotero yesterday are returning "403 Forbidden" today. Nothing changed from yesterday.

I even tried creating a new API key with full read/write permissions to both Library and all Groups. Still did not work. I have the paid Zotero account, so I'm not sure what issue I'm running into. Is the API having an issue now, or is there something specific to my account?

Found the issue; it was working auto-detecting group vs. individual library, but today that no longer worked and it was trying the group ID as an individual library. It is now working OK again, I am using it as a group ID and the API functions properly.
