API key is missing or inactiv

Hi,

I have managed to be able to retrieve my access token from the MYOB API, however when I make a simple call to the Sandbox commpany file, I receive the following response:

[29-Jan-2019 10:57:47 Australia/Sydney] {
    "Errors": [
      {
        "Name": "DeveloperInactive",
        "Message": "API key is missing or inactive",
        "AdditionalDetails": "Header: x-myobapi-key",
        "ErrorCode": null,
        "Severity": "Error",
        "LearnMore": "http://developer.myob.com/api/accountright/api-overview/error-messages/?label=developer_inactive&context=403"
      }
    ],
    "Information": "Warning, error messages have not been finalised in this release and may change"
}

I have verified that I am passing through the required headers. To test the API has authenticated properly, I am doing a simple GET request to the following URL:

https://api.myob.com/accountright/Sale/Invoice/Item

I have created several API keys during testing the MYOB authentication - could this be the issue?

Do I have to do the "email developers@myob.com" dance to get this sorted?

Cheers..

I'd recommend reading hte documentation here:

http://developer.myob.com/api/accountright/v2/company-files/

And verifying first using the Files endpoint:

http://localhost:8080/accountright/
http://[IP OF NETWORK COMPUTER]:8080/accountright/
https://api.myob.com/accountright/

Once you've got a company file ID, you should be able to construct the appropriate endpoints to call. I find it easiest to start by bashing a localhosted version of AccountRight before bashing the Web API endpoints.

Looks like I might be using the wrong URL for making API calls, I see references to using the company file GUID in various documentation, but no mention of it elsewhere.... Confusing.
