Incorrect access_key

const API_KEY = '<Access key created with owner role>';

var params = {
    'originator': 'Test',
    'recipients': [
        '+918875342870'
    ],
    'body': 'Hello, world!'

@zack1991 are you using access keys created from app.messagebird.com? not api keys from dashboard.messagebird.com? I am currently running into this same issue

this package refer to MCP not MEP. but app.messagebird.com is MCP, so you shouln't use this package

I'm too facing the same issue. Is there any solution or workaround for this ?

Make sure you are using correct access key from dashboard.messagebird.com and not from app.bird.com as stated above. The keys are not interchangeable and work only in correct APIs.
This lib is only for old APIs that are available at dashboard.messagebird.com.

@aodinok But on trying to sign up on dashboard.messagebird.com, it redirects to api.bird.com

I am afraid that the old platforms is closed for new signups. So this library is only usable for people who have accounts already.

Bird doesn't have yet SDK for new platform published.

It's ridiculous. Currently trying to implement sending an sms.
The flow on the website is just bad and not self explanatory. They still reference this package, but it's not support, the docs are not clearly separated.
