Every request I make through the API returns the same error #2 - API key not allowed. I looked in the forums and saw a few tickets but that was related to using a beta feature. I have tried multiple requests such with the Song API (search) and the Track API (track from ID and track from URL) and everything returns the same error.

Let me know if I can provide more information.

I am not sure if it is related, but more than half of them time when I try to login to my API/Dev Account I get the following message from the Web site:

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://api.echonest.com/account/login?" on this server. Reference #18.245f543f.1318252376.82f31d8

Hi im.a.machobeagle, api.echonest.com is not a supported endpoint for non-commercial customers. Use developer.echonest.com. If you are a commercial customer, please contact us privately and we'll straighten it out.

Thanks for clarifying the difference between api and developer for me! That helps.

However, I still have problems making calls via the API using developer.echonest.com

Here are some example URLs: http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/song/profile?api_key=[My Key]&id=SOPEXHZ12873FD2AC7 http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/song/search?results=1&api_key=[My Key]&artist=shakira&bucket=id%3A7digital&bucket=tracks&limit=true&title=she+wolf

And here is the response I receive from the server:

{"response": {"status": {"version": "4.2", "code": 2, "message": "api_key - API key not allowed: "[My Key]" is not allowed to call this method"}}}

Hi im.a.machobeagle,

I've straightened this out for you, let us know if it's still not working.

sorry for the trouble!

Thanks! Works like a charm.
