My Ground Station is still showing up red

I have verified my config
SATNOGS_STATION_ID 113
SATNOGS_API_TOKEN 42… 59 (the same as was issued to me)
SATNOGS_NETWORK_API_URL https://network.satnogs.org/api/

When checking
$journalctl -f -u satnogs-client.service
Exception: Status code: 401 on request: https://network.satnogs.org/api/jobs/

I have verified $curl https:// network.satnogs.org/api/ (space inserted, I’m a newbie)
I get a JSON response

I get a JSON response when I do a
$curl https:// network.satnogs.org/api/jobs/ (space inserted, I’m a newbie)

Please advise

Double-check your API token!
If you did already: do it again!

I’ve just checked by running the api request with your api key and station id as it is run by the client and I got an answer.

+1 on what @DL4PD suggested. Check the api key again, check that there are not spaces or hidden characters on api token at the beginning or at the end.

EDIT: My request made your station look online… it will get offline after some time passed without a new request.

@DL4PD Fredy, Patrick
I made a typo, having to enter the API key manually.

Putty does not allow me to copy and paste into the setup form. It did help to take a text editor and put the API key on the first line and then after doing the setup to read the result from http://:5000/configuration/ and copying the result from SATNOGS_API_TOKEN underneath.

Corrected the typo. Notice it changed from Red to Orange [Testing]
Next step – make an observation.

Thanks!

Great! Looking forward for your first observations

PuTTY does allow C&P:

• mark text while depressing left mouse-button
• after releasing the marked text is copied into the clipboard
• paste copied text with depressing third mouse-button (this button can be emulated with depressing left and right button simultaneously)

This is not very common to windows users
