Check the response body for a more specific error message. With the JavaScript SDK, you should be able to by checking the nested `error.error` object.

 

An error response with a 401 status code like this should indicate an issue with the authorization though; for instance, the access token used may be invalid or expired. Make sure you're using a valid access token.
