APIs send a 401 Unauthorized Error when a wrong request (e.g., expired or missing token/API keys) does not have proper authentication. Corrective handling includes:
- Transmission of the WWW-Authenticate headers
- Refuting unproven requests
- Delivery of good error messages
When developing, it is important to include valid credentials; otherwise, there are 401 Errors in the API response.
