New Ubuntu Setup

I have been setting up a new Ubuntu client and when I get to the step of sudo systemctl status satnogs-client.service
I see the following error:
satnogs-client[30772]: satnogsclient.scheduler.tasks - ERROR - 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://network.satnogs.org/api/jobs/?ground_station=2956&lat=42.28&lon=-87.97&alt=200

I can use curl and wget with the same url and get no errors

Rebooting fixed the problem

This message says that the provided API key is either wrong or not provided. Check client configuration again to make sure that you have provided the right Station ID and the right API key.

The request in the case of the client is a POST one, while with curl and wget is a GET one. The POST one needs authorization with the API key as it sets some values for your station, but the GET one doesn’t need any authorization and it only gets the information.
