Fix JSON, authentication, or API key issues
- Views 11
What you get with this Offer
I can help debug and fix one clear API authentication, JSON, or request formatting issue in your website, app, or backend. This could be a 401/403 error, invalid API key, missing token, incorrect auth header, bad JSON payload, malformed request body, or an API response that is failing because the request is not being sent correctly.
I’m Lee, a UK-based developer with 6+ years of programming experience. I work with technologies such as JavaScript, Node.js, TypeScript, Python, PHP, FastAPI, Laravel, and more. I’m comfortable checking headers, payloads, API docs, response bodies, logs, and backend code to find what is actually causing the issue.
What I can help with:
- JSON payload or response issues
- API key problems
- Bearer token issues
- Missing or incorrect headers
- 401 or 403 API errors
- Authentication request problems
- Bad request body formatting
- API access or permission issues
- Token/config debugging
What is included:
- Investigation of one clear JSON, authentication, or API key issue
- A clean fix where the issue is within the agreed scope
- Testing where your access/setup allows
- A clear explanation of what was changed
- Friendly communication throughout
Please message me before ordering so I can check the issue and confirm it fits this offer. If the task involves full OAuth setup, a complete login system, multiple APIs, large security changes, or a full integration rebuild, I can still help but we may need to agree a custom scope first.
What the Freelancer needs to start the work
To get started, please send as much of the following as you can:
- A short description of the JSON, authentication, or API key issue
- What is currently happening
- What should happen instead
- The API provider or service involved, if there is one
- Any error messages, status codes, logs, or screenshots
- Example request data, headers, payloads, or response bodies, if available
- The authentication method being used, such as API key, bearer token, basic auth, or OAuth
- Any API documentation from the third-party service
- The technology/framework used, if you know it
- Access to the code, repository, staging site, or backend files needed to investigate
- Any test credentials, API keys, tokens, or sandbox details needed for testing
If you are not sure about some of this, that is completely fine. Just send what you have and I’ll guide you from there.
Please avoid sharing sensitive production secrets unless they are genuinely needed. If API keys, tokens, or credentials are required, test credentials or temporary access are best where possible.
