I'm trying to use the visual recognition from IBM Watson using their API. Here is the POST request I am sending: https://gateway-a.watsonplatform.net/visual-recognition/api/v3/classify?api_key={MY_API_KEY}&version=2016-05-20 and I specify my image in the body parameter.

I always get:

{
  "status": "ERROR",
  "statusInfo": "invalid-api-key"
}

I got my key from Bluemix 3 hours ago (they said the key should be working in 5 minutes).

Any ideas? Thanks

EDIT

Since this morning, I have another error:

{
  "status": "ERROR",
  "statusInfo": "invalid-api-key-permissions"
}

Is this me or Watson is still under maintenance?

The Visual Recognition service was experiencing problems recognizing keys; the development team has resolved the problem as of July 14. (There is additional discussion of this issue on the IBM developerWorks Answers forum, and you can open a support ticket on a specific key issue at Bluemix support).

  • Thanks for your response. I hope this problem will be resolved soon, I need the Visual Recognition for a proof of concept. – Mathieu Jun 20 '16 at 21:40
  • I am experiencing the same problem. I never tried this service, so I am unsure whether this is a problem from my side or IBM's. Can we be notified when the service runs smoothly again? – user3819568 Jun 21 '16 at 08:32
  • I will post to this thread when the service is running smoothly again. – ralphearle Jun 28 '16 at 16:57
