Shortcut API not working for you?
- Shortcut needs an API key. A 401 or 403 usually means a missing, expired or mis-sent credential: check whether it belongs in a header or the query string.
- A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header.
- Shortcut doesn't send CORS headers, so browsers block calls made directly from a web page. Call it from your server instead.
- If it works from one network but not another, check firewalls, VPNs and regional blocks.
- Check the provider's documentation, status page or social accounts for planned maintenance or a changed endpoint.

How do you check whether Shortcut API is up?
Once a day our checker requests Shortcut's listed URL (https://developer.shortcut.com) and records whether it answers within 15 seconds. Answers like 401 (needs a key), 403 (blocks bots) or 429 (rate-limited) count as up, because the server responded. The listed URL is often the documentation page, so an API endpoint can occasionally fail while its docs stay up.

Why does Shortcut API work for others but not for me?
Shortcut needs an API key. A 401 or 403 usually means a missing, expired or mis-sent credential: check whether it belongs in a header or the query string. A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header. Shortcut doesn't send CORS headers, so browsers block calls made directly from a web page. Call it from your server instead.
