# invalid_proxy_secret: The proxy secret is not valid

Status 401.

## Why it happens

The call carries an `X-RapidAPI-Proxy-Secret` header that matches no listing. RapidAPI adds this header itself, so the call did not come through RapidAPI. The hosted connector's own secret answers the same code.

## What to do

Call the listing's RapidAPI host with your RapidAPI key, or drop the header and call the public base with no key or with a member key.

## Example

```json
{
  "type": "https://unique.domains/api/problems/invalid_proxy_secret",
  "title": "The proxy secret is not valid",
  "status": 401,
  "detail": "The X-RapidAPI-Proxy-Secret header matches no listing.",
  "instance": "/v1/names/harbor.io",
  "code": "invalid_proxy_secret"
}
```
