API Developers Forum Ideas

I've had an API key for weeks and just got back to my project after doing some other work. I get this error when I make a query that used to work:

 

"A valid key must be included with each data API request.

You included a key with this request, however, it is not valid.

Please check your key and try again.'

 

Any thoughts?

How was the key registration process experience?

I have a problem accessing the registration form : http://www.census.gov/developers/tos/key_request.html

It says that "The server at api.census.gov is taking too long to respond."

what is this due to ?

are there some geographical restrictions ? (since i am not in the US).

Hi, the page where one requests an API key seems to be blank. Is this an error? What's going on? How can I get an API key to the census API? Please advise.

I just signed up and received a key from the Census API. I created a query, copied the key into the query and submitted it.

The response said:

A valid key must be included with each data API request. You included a key with this request, however, it is not valid. Please check your key and try again.

If you do not have a key you my sign up for one here.

I am not sure how I could have screwed this up here... Any... more »

Hello, I recently obtained and validated my API key. However, when I attempt to enter a test URL in my browser window with my api key I receive a message stating "A valid key must be included with each data API request. You included a key with this request, however, it is not valid. Please check your key and try again."
