We have started to get authentication errors when sending requests to the API. The code has not changed on our end.

I’m able to successfully request an access token using our refresh token (and it looks like the scopes have not changed) but when I use the access token I’m getting this error: HTTPError: 401 Client Error: UNAUTHORIZED for url: [https://public-api.shiphero.com/graphql](https://public-api.shiphero.com/graphql)

Hello @rbrennan!  
Welcome to our PublicAPI community!

Was this something that was working for you and suddenly did not, or is it something new you were trying and never worked so far?

Have a nice day,  
TomasFD
