Hello,

I received my API key and I wish to download sounds via curl like in the API docs.

Let's pretend my API key is abCDEFghijkLMNOP123456789 and the sound I want has an id of 12345.

The docs are kind of confusing me because of the brackets, but according to the docs I need to do this:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer {{abCDEFghijkLMNOP123456789}}" 'httpss://freesound.org/apiv2/sounds/12345/download/'

I think the second s in "httpss" is a typo so instead I'm running:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer {{abCDEFghijkLMNOP123456789}}" 'httpss://freesound.org/apiv2/sounds/12345/download/'

(I think that I'm supposed to include the double curly brackets around my API key, but I'm not sure. I've tried it both ways).

Now when I run the above I get this from curl in response:

{"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."}

What am I doing wrong?

You should post this in the API google group...

You'll have much better luck with responses there
