When Running an Email Search Does not Find APIkey

[g33k247]

I have a valid APIkey.

Results:
python3 pwnedornot.py --email
[+] API Key Found...
[+] Checking Breach status for
[-] Status 401 : Unauthorised — either no API key was provided or it wasn't valid
Note: The APIkey check only fails with email addresses. Using the --check on a domain works fine.

Expected:
Finds APIkey in config.json, retrieves information for email address successfully

Contents of config.json:
{
"api_key": ""
}

• there is 1 space between the colon and the start of the api key (with quotes)

@g33k247 edit the json file and add your key in the quotes, also the one space is not an issue

I re-generated the APIkey and added a new one to the file between the quotes. I'm still seeing the 401 error.

@g33k247 I will test it out soon, also the domain check works without the api key

@g33k247 is the key added in $HOME/.config/pwnedornot/config.json file?

Ahhh, that was the issue. Thank-you!
