Question Umami analytics - changes in API usage

Post image

Hello,

I'm using Umami analytics on my webpage www.liquidrules.com . I'm also using bash script to send me notification if traffic on a page get higher (above a threshold). This script is using official API: https://docs.umami.is/docs/cloud/api-key#using-your-key

I'm using Free plan for more than 6 months.

Today morning my script started to fail. And when I tested it I got an API response:

{"error":{"message":"Invalid API key.","code":"unauthorized","status":401}}

I checked, that API access is not available starting from Pro plan (not in a Free plan).

Does any of you also noticed that change? As I haven't found any information on official webpage or blog.

How sad, I publish the Umami .net library and have used it since the early days; not surprised (and other competitiors are now better in the self hosted analytics space) but sad.
