API token rejected

INVALID_API_TOKEN

The API token in this request couldn't be validated.

What this means

The token has been revoked, has expired, or was never issued by this account.

How to fix it

Generate a new token from the dashboard under Settings → API Tokens, or run csph login to refresh CLI credentials.

Retry behavior

Don't retry with the same token. Get a new one first.

How it appears in the response

ComputeSphere returns errors as RFC 7807 Problem Details. The type field is the docs URL for this page — switch on code in your client.

The Content-Type header is application/problem+json. On field-level validation errors a non-empty errors[] array also appears, each entry carrying its own docs_url for the offending field.
