Satnogs-network API to update observations: 401 Unauthorized

Hi,
I managed to finalize my decoder for the .ogg files, but now I need to upload the demoddata / payload_data on Satnogs Network through the API.

I can properly GET, but I cannot update obserations with the provided code and my API token:

I see some topics about 401, and people have a wrong API key. I got mine from network.satnogs.org 's dashboard page. Am I right?

Couls you please tell me if I am doing something wrong or where I can ask for access to this if required.

Oh, may I add that I would like to decode observations registered by other people, maybe this is the source of the problem.

I decoded a 100 beacons from this list:
https://network.satnogs.org/observations/?norad=52898

I am part of the team operating this satellite, and I would like to contribute by decoding as manty signals as possible to update the demoddata, make a kaitai decoder and finally make a Dashboard for this satellite.

Using a proper timestamp and probably the correct observer or station name you could push those frames directly into DB! The correct timestamp of the reception time is obligatory!

You are not allowed to upload data to observations performed by station you don’t own. The solution, as @DL4PD described, is to use the SiDS protocol and upload the data to SatNOGS DB.

Let us know if you need help with this.

Thank you for the suggestions, this seems to be a good path.
I will investigate this and go this route.

By the way, I noticed that the API Schema’s telemetry POST method is missing some parameters when compared to the source code.
