How to fix it

Tip

Send a valid secret key in the Authorization header: "Bearer sk_live_…" or "Bearer sk_test_…".

What the answer looks like

Every error is application/problem+json (RFC 9457). Read the code, not the title or detail text, which may change. Keep the request_id when you contact support.
