Troubleshooting

Access Token Issues

Error: Request failed with status code 401

If you see this error, your esa access token may be invalid or expired. Generate a new access token from the esa settings screen and update your environment variable.

Permission Issues

Error: Request failed with status code 403

If you see this error, the current access token doesn't have the necessary permissions. Check the permissions for your access token in the esa settings screen and issue a new token if needed.
