Fail to revert the basic API information anymore

For the purpose of service monitoring, we set up the dashboard page (IP:Port/index.php) to search for the "Active" word. When our customs script finds the word, it means to us that the service is up and running and whenever it fails to find such a word, it indicates to us that the service is down.

Two months ago, we learned there are two methods to accomplish our goal. One can either take a trick-like path or use the built-in api.php.

We took both routes to ensure that we never missed anything. but after we updated our instance to the latest release, we are no longer able to revert any information from api.php; in fact, the API page doesn't resolve at all.

So we are wondering what has to be done now to be able to revert or resolve the api.php page again.

Well, Thanks to @rdwebdesign I found our answer here.

We need to add &auth=<your_access_token> to the URL

It pays to read our announcements, specifically the release notes. :wink:

Authentication requirements have been announced in advance in November via Upcoming changes: authentication for more API endpoints required.

And of course, this has also been mentioned explicitly in the release notes:
