[SOLVED] Dev Keys not working

looks like dev key are broken they simply don't work
i suggest remove them until you have them working otherwise they confuse devs
took me few minutes trying to understand what am doing wrong !

Hi, can you explain a little bit your issue?

• What Appwrite version are you using
• What SDK are you using and the error you are seeing

using Dev keys am getting that error AppwriteException: The current user is not authorized to perform the requested action.

am using "node-appwrite": "^20.3.0"

DevKeys are used on the client sdks not on server sdks. https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/platform/dev-keys

Thank you for clarification

Curious, what made you try to use a dev key instead of an API key?

@Steven just thought that everything will work without doing any permission and without rate limits i felt like the development speed will go smoothly

So you expected dev keys to give you access?

What docs/info did you look at before choosing to use a dev key? Console? Docs? SDK comments/docs?

I can't remember but one of the doc pages said to use dev keys i read it too quick i miss the part where it say it is only for client sdk

Is there is purpose of being only for client sdk ?

Do you recall which doc page?

While developing an app client-side and implementing authentication, you may run into rate limits creating an account or session over and over again. Dev keys were created for those instances so that you don't get blocked for an hour waiting for the rate limit to reset.

wouldn't same happen if am doing clients authentication using node-appwrite

api keys are not impacted by rate limits

that is good
