Common Errors & Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized Missing or invalid API key in the Authorization header.
Include the header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY in every request.
404 Not Found Requesting a show date that does not exist in the archive.
Use the /shows endpoint first to list available dates before requesting a specific show.
Large response payload Requesting all shows without pagination.
Always use the ?per_page= parameter (max 20) to limit response size and page through results incrementally.
