token-expired

The request to generate events carries a token that has expired.

  • Status: 401 Unauthorized
  • Route: POST /api/v1/generate-events
  • Description: token is expired: expected a token that is still valid
  • Details: expiredAt, the moment the token expired, in UTC. The response has the header WWW-Authenticate: Bearer.

Why It Happens#

A token is valid until midnight in Berlin after the last day of the occasion it was issued for, such as a workshop or a talk. The token is right in every other way, but that moment has passed.

How to Fix It#

Ask for a new token with a tailor-made data set.
