Question

Why am I getting the following error message for all the API calls? <Errors> <ShortMessage>Inactive application or developer.</ShortMessage> <LongMessage>Inactive application or developer.</LongMessage> <ErrorCode>163</ErrorCode> <SeverityCode>Error</SeverityCode> <ErrorClassification>RequestError</ErrorClassification> </Errors>

Answer

Summary

This error occurs if the keys are inactivated. If the keys are inactive, you can neither generate a new token with those keys nor use the existing tokens that were generated with them. If you try to retrieve a new token using the redirect method and then use the new keys in an API call, you will get the following error message:
<Errors>

<ShortMessage>Auth token is invalid.</ShortMessage>

<LongMessage>Validation of the token in the API request failed.</LongMessage>

<ErrorCode>931</ErrorCode>

<SeverityCode>Error</SeverityCode>

<ErrorClassification>RequestError</ErrorClassification>

</Errors>

If you try to use the FetchToken method, you will get error 163.
