    Hi, I sent an email to api@jotform.com last Friday and haven't heard anything back yet.

    We just created a read-only and full access APIkey to access the API and try a few things out. I am getting errors when just trying the basic curl commands in the documentation. Can you tell me why it’s not working?

    curl -X GET https://api.jotform.com/user?apiKey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    curl -X GET https://api.jotform.com/user/subusers?apiKey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    Hey David - Thanks for reaching out.

    As much as I want to help you, I'm no expert in APIs. Let me escalate this ticket instead to our backend team to tap someone who's an expert in the matter. They shall reply to you here.

    It has been a couple of weeks now. Should I still expect a reply here or create a new ticket?

    I can't use your APIs at all.


    Thanks,

    David
