Error while using custom code to update task

I am trying to update tasks using Python 3.9 for learning purposes.

I tried several ways to resolve this error but the error persists.

The error:

[ERROR] ApiException: (401)
Reason: Unauthorized
HTTP response body: {"status":"error","message":"Authentication credentials not found."}

The code I am using:

 url = 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/tasks/' + task.id
 auth = os.getenv('HAPIKEY')
 payload = "{\"properties\":{\"hs_task_status\":\"COMPLETED\"}}"
 headers = {
 'accept': 'application/json',
 'content-type': 'application/json',
 'authorization': 'Bearer '+auth
 }
 response = requests.request(
 "PATCH", url, data=payload, headers=headers)

Hi @AbdulRahim ,

It seems as if you are trying to pass an API key in the authorization header, which will not work.

API keys are getting sunset, so your go-to authentication method should be a private app.

I’m pretty positive that if you use a private app token in your code instead of the API key, it should work. Just make sure you have the right scope selected.
