I am testing out the REST api on my dev server, and for whatever reason i keep getting the error NO_API_KEY when I am definitely passing it. Here is an example of a request im making in the browser.

http://oblivion-networks.dev/forum/api/core/hello?key=7b225ea3e4782c99a9788fff7af097ba

Can someone please correct me if im wrong but according to the docs, I believe that's correct.

Also, here is my nginx conf.

server {
    listen 80;
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name oblivion-networks.dev;
    root "/home/vagrant/projects/oblivion-networks/public";

    index index.html index.htm index.php;

    charset utf-8;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location /forum/api {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /forum/api/index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    access_log off;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/oblivion-networks.dev-error.log error;

    sendfile off;

    client_max_body_size 100m;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

        fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
        fastcgi_buffer_size 16k;
        fastcgi_buffers 4 16k;
        fastcgi_connect_timeout 300;
        fastcgi_send_timeout 300;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 300;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }

    ssl_certificate     /etc/nginx/ssl/oblivion-networks.dev.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/oblivion-networks.dev.key;
}

My main website is a laravel application, and I have installed the forum in the public/forum directory. The main site is working (outside of ipb, the ipb forum is working as well), the the api seems to give the same error every time. Thanks!

this can be closed, i figured it out. looks like the browser cache just needed cleared, oddly enough
