Does clearrun login check my key with ClearRun?

No. clearrun login saves the key on your computer and does not contact api.clearrun.net. A wrong key is saved without an error. You find out on your first score.

Why

The CLI prints the reason after it saves: scoring routes spend credits, and account routes use a browser session. So there is no free call to test a key with.

How to test a key

Run one short score:

clearrun score --text "The capital of France is Paris."
  • A score means the key works. This uses credits.
  • 401 Unauthorized means the key is wrong. Create a new one.
  • 403 API_ACCESS_REQUIRED means the key is not a free developer key. A verified free account can create one.
  • API access is turned off in account settings. means API access is off for the account.
