Hi, I've uploaded my REST API movie list project onto GitHub Pages, but today I'm getting a 401 Error (Unauthorized or Unauthenticated). My website has been on GitHub Pages for the last month and I haven't been getting this error until today... I was trying to debug an error which was causing the website to re-render the page a lot, so I'm not sure if I've maxed out the number of API calls in a day or if it's an actual authentication problem. Could anyone shed some light on how I should solve this? Currently, I am using the default Application Authentication with my TMDB API Token to get the movie and poster data from my "Favourites" list. I know there are other more secure approaches such as User Authentication and Guest Sessions, but I might try those approaches in the future. Thanks for any tips. Michael

I was able to fix my problem by regenerating the API Token/Key, so please disregard my previous message.
