Thanks Dennis,

For the benefit of anyone else using C# and an API key to access the API from an external application this is all you will need to change.

I created a private app - assigned scope and the creation generated a token.

This is an excerpt from the original code (using RestSharp)

hapiKey = “your\_api\_key”; // real app reads this from a config

var client = new RestClient(baseURL);

var request = new RestRequest(“crm/v3/objects/companies/”, Method.Get);

request.AddQueryParameter(“hapikey”, hapiKey);  
// etc..

This is what you need to change.

token = “your\_token”; // real app reads this from a config

var client = new RestClient(baseURL);

var request = new RestRequest(“crm/v3/objects/companies”, Method.Get);

request.AddHeader(“Authorization”, "Bearer " + token);  
// etc.
