I was testing the orders v2 API through http requests via java and everything worked smooth a week ago.

When trying it today I started getting: POST returned 401 with error: Unauthorized

from the https://api.planet.com/data/v1/quick-search api.

 

If I use the same account with the porder python package I am able to connect and retrieve idlists properly, which, I assume does more or less the same thing.

Does anyone know if something changed in the authentication process?

Right now I am using basic authentication as I think I saw somewhere in the docs.

Thanks for any clue.

  Just to mention, if anyone else is also facing this issue. Please only use your API key to authenticate and not username/password.

  Pooja Pandey How can we authenticate with `planet init` like before? Planet init is not working for me anymore even though it appears to work when I run it:

  (porder)
  # rave at rave-desktop in ~ [13:30:56]
  → planet init
  Email: ravery@ucsb.edu
  Password:
  initialized

  I'm using the latest version of the planet package, 1.4.3

   

  When I try to view my subscriptions I can't do so on my desktop but this command works on my laptop with the exact same .planet.json file (there's no discernible difference between my laptop OS , planet version, api key, etc.)

  # rave at rave-desktop in ~ [13:15:03]
  → planet analytics subscriptions list
