Hey @Randall_Yost

Would you mind explaining to us in what step/API connection you’re getting a 401 error? If you could also provide details on how the step is configured, it will be helpful as well! (without exposing any account sensitive details)

Thanks!  
Ayana

Hi Randall, can you see if the [instructions here](https://community.parabola.io/t/trouble-connecting-to-coinapi/2295/2) are helpful in configuring your API Step?
