401 Error with Query string

[salesoutlook]

I use the following query string (with corrected values) in a web browser and get the login pop up but then get an "Error 401: Error reported: 401 error". I know I log in correctly because I can log into the web and see it. The email address exists and an email was sent to the address. Any suggestions on troubleshooting this error?

Also are there any other query strings available?

BTW, I only have one contact in the system.

Make sure that the username that you are using on the login is actually your API key and username separated by a percent sign ie: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXX%username

Please try that and let us know if you are still having troubles.

Do I need quotes or any other syntax issues?

I receveid an API key and entered the correct values but I get a 400 bad request

The request URI should only include the Username, not the API key.  You request should be:

https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/username/contacts?email=myemail@myemail.com

The API Key is only used for passing in the Authentication step
