09/24/2025, 6:58 PMIt looks like you're encountering the "invalid token" error with status 401, which means the access token provided couldn't be verified or might be malformed. This can happen for a few reasons:
• The Authorization header might be missing or not starting with "Bearer ".
• The token itself could be invalid or hard to parse.
• The API key linked to the token might be invalid or not found in the key provider.
• The token verification might fail due to an incorrect secret or expired/invalid claims.

09/24/2025, 7:02 PMI understand how tricky it can be when things work in development but not in production. Often, this happens because the environments are set up differently. In development, placeholder credentials or sandbox setups might be fine, but production needs everything properly configured. Let’s walk through some important points to check together:
• Environment Variables: Please make sure
