"documentation_url": "https://developer.paddle.com/errors/shared/authentication_malformed"

Error message
Authentication header included, but incorrectly formatted.

Common causes

  • You included an Authorization header, but the API couldn't understand it. This suggests it's in the wrong format.
  • There may be a proxy between you and Paddle that's changing the Authorization header.
