Hey all!

I’ve got this serverless, just migrated to private app auth:

```lia-code-sample
exports.main = async (context, sendResponse) => {
 const authToken = process.env.sparkling_zoo;
 const session_id = context.params.sid;
 const payload_archiveSession = {
 sn_archived: true,
 };
 const endpoint_archiveSession = `https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/2-3994900/${session_id}/`;
 const headers = {
 "Content-Type": "application/json",
 Accept: "application/json",
 Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}`
 };

 // Update playgroup
 try {
 const response_archiveSession = await patchObject(
 payload_archiveSession,
 headers,
 endpoint_archiveSession
 );

 sendResponse({
 body: {
 response: response_archiveSession.data,
 },
 statusCode: 200,
 });
 } catch (error) {
 console.log(error);
 sendResponse({
 body: {
 error: error,
 },
 statusCode: 500,
 });
 }
};

```

And I get the response:

```lia-code-sample

 status: 'error',

}

```

This is happening for all function is the portal 😞

I’ve triple checked that the private app has the correct scope(it now has all of them), that the private app is accessible in the function(console logged it out), and still coming up with nothing.

We get no logs in the Private App HS view. The logs shown are from the terminal.

If I revert this back to api keys with no other changes the functino works as expected.

[@Jaycee\_Lewis](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/127074) any insights?

Best,

Hello @Kevin-C  
Based on the error message you provided, it seems that the authentication credentials are not being passed correctly to HubSpot’s API.

Following up on this.  
After working extensively with support and our CAM it was discovered that there is a bug on the HS side preventing the auth from being accepted by the endpoint 🙃.

Thanks for taking the time to flag this and follow up about it. I was OOO on Friday.

You are appreciated, @Kevin-C 🙌 — Jaycee
