Error 1003 - Authorization Error

[TMMeijers]

Even though I have made an account, an app and use the key and secret key every request I make returns error code 1003: Authorization error.

I have tried both the Command Tool (with my keys in .cfg) and calling the API from my own code. All return the error just like the example hello.py program.

I have tried both the US and CN server (http://us.api.faceplusplus.com and http://us.api.faceplusplus.com) as well as http://usapi.faceplusplus.com which is listed under the MyApp page. All give back 404 but http://api.faceplusplus.com works (but unfortunately gives me the Authorization error).

Make sure in the facepp.py file the server name is http://apius.faceplusplus.com

i.e.

class API(object):
key = None
secret = None
server = 'http://apius.faceplusplus.com/'

Even though we used the server name 'http://apius.faceplusplus.com/' as mentioned, the authorization error (error code : 1003) still persists.

hey @sanchishah have you resolved the error . please let me know

Same thing we have here on CN server, not only in python SDK, also found in java SDK.

I also met same problem , and I found two causes of this problem were :

1. The registration region on cn server only can used on api-cn , same as region on US.
2. The api-us method maybe was different with api-cn , for example : facepp.py line 351 showing the detect method was in /detection/detect but us document showing the method in https://api-us.faceplusplus.com/facepp/v3/detect (without detection)

so , when I make sure I have same region of registration and api-server , change methods on _APIS in facepp.py and I don't get any error message.

Has anybody found a fix for this issue? I am trying to use the web API in a ruby program I am making but keeping getting error 404.

@liumusicforever can you please provide:

1. How you found which region your API was set to.
2. The exact changes made to the facepp.py file.

I've played around with your suggestions, but I don't quite understand them

@FMCumhaill Hi,

1. You can check your sign up web page was https://www.faceplusplus.com.cn/(Chinese) or https://www.faceplusplus.com/(English) , and make sure your 'facepp.py' line 133 server same as the url.

2. I just follow the document : change facepp.py line 351 /detection/detect to facepp/v3/detect , same as other APIs.

Hi @liumusicforever

Thanks for the support, I did as you suggested but if I set the url to https://www.faceplusplus.com/ it just returns a bunch of HTML code. If I set it to https://api.faceplusplus.com/ it returns {"error":"API not found}

Is this expected?

1. The API server address that works for me (from an AWS instance in the US) is: https://api-us.faceplusplus.com
2. I've found that generating the HTTP request with the requests package is straightforward and therefore probably easier than using the API SDK: see a minimal example at https://gist.github.com/joseph-bs/a936d1f62926b2f44aa8ae27dfd0c7eb
