Error 405: key is required when access token is passed

[aleksandra-asanin]

Hello!

I registered my application thus obtained app key and access token. By reading the documentation I figured out that it's possible to pass additional arguments into the fetch method, as soon as they are named the same as described in the endpoint documentation.

Sounds great. So I tried

SITE.fetch('users/{ids}/top-answer-tags', ids=user_id, access_token=access_token, key=key)

And got

stackapi.stackapi.StackAPIError: ('https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/users/922184/top-answer-tags/?pagesize=1&page=1&filter=default&access_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&site=stackoverflow', 405, 'key_required', 'keyis required whenaccess_token is passed.')

I obviously passed the key, but for some reason it doesn't appear in the url. Why is that?

If I take this url and add the key manually and test it in the browser, it works perfectly! Would be nice if this is fixed :)

Can you try this for me?

SITE = StackAPI('stackoverflow', key=key, access_token=access_token)

You didn't share, but I suspect your SITE is declared like this, correct:

SITE = StackAPI('stackoverflow')

There is an error where I'm not using a passed token or key in fetch.

Sorry for the late response. I discovered already that it works by passing the arguments to the SITE object. Works perfectly, with Stackoverflow as well as with other sites from the Stack Exchange network. However, I would suggest to improve the package documentation a bit. It is more powerful than one might gain an impression by referring to docs.
Nevertheless, the package is awesome.
Kind regards!
