Search API always gives 401

Chase

I am integrating Kagi search API into my AI agent and it is always returning a 401.

I generated the key here: https://kagi.com/settings/api
I topped off my API credits here: https://kagi.com/settings/billing_api
I am not using IP locking.
I recreated the API key several times
I tried making my own requests in vanilla python
I tried setting the KAGI_API_KEY env var

>>> key = "MYKEY"
>>> from kagiapi import KagiClient
>>> kagi = KagiClient(key)
>>> results = kagi.search("google", limit=10)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/chase/.pyenv/versions/deus-stulti/lib/python3.12/site-packages/kagiapi/api.py", line 33, in search

Your API to return something

Hi there,

It may be helpful to see the actual response body output.
If it just says 'Unauthorized' then your token is incorrect (or ip whitelisting, but you said you don't have that enabled).

import requests

key = "REPLACE_ME"

r = requests.get(
        "https://kagi.com/api/v0/search",
        params={"q": "google", "limit": 10},
        headers={
            "Authorization": f"Bot {key}"
        }
)
print(r.json())

If that is the case, you can reach out to support@kagi.com and we can verify the token and/or send you the correct one.
