Authorization Errors

Getting a 401 Unauthorized when publishing or verifying pacts

The most common reasons for API authentication failures are:

Using an old version of Pact library that does not support the API Hub for Contract Testing authentication scheme (bearer token authentication).
- To resolve this, make sure you are using the latest Pact library version for your language.
Attempting to access the API with a username and password instead of an API token.
- To resolve this, please see the section on configuring your API token
Using a read-only token instead of a read/write token
- To resolve this, please see the section on configuring your API token and ensure you have copied the read/write token.
