What Happened?

This error occurs when you’re trying to perform an operation on an app that doesn’t exist in the Unkey system. Common scenarios that trigger this error:
  • Using an incorrect app ID in your request
  • Referencing an app that has been deleted
  • Attempting to access an app in a workspace you don’t have access to
  • Using a root key that lacks a permission covering read_app for the app (a missing permission returns not found so app existence is never leaked)

​
How To Fix

Verify that you’re using the correct app ID and that the app still exists in your workspace:
  1. Check the app in the Unkey dashboard
  2. Verify the app has not been deleted
  3. Confirm the app ID belongs to the workspace your root key is in
  4. Ensure your root key has a permission covering read_app on the app’s project
