鉴权失败错误提示 (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

哎呀呀~遇到鉴权错误啦! (⊙_⊙) 快来看看是哪里出问题了吧~

HTTP Code错误描述原因处理建议
401{"message":"Unauthorized"}缺少 authorization 参数哎呀~检查一下有没有正确带上传入的 authorization 参数哦~
401{"message":"HMAC signature cannot be verified"}签名参数解析失败嗯嗯~ (°∀°)ノ 检查一下各签名参数是否完整,确认 APIKey 是不是正确呀~
401{"message":"HMAC signature does not match"}签名校验失败嘿呀~ (。•́︿•̀。) 检查一下 APIKey/APISecret 是否正确呢~还要看看 host、date、request-line 拼接对不对哦~signature 的 Base64 长度正常应该是 44 字节呢~
403{"message":"HMAC signature cannot be verified, a valid date or x-date header is required"}时钟偏移校验失败嗯嗯? (⊙_⊙) 服务器时钟可能有偏差哦~偏差超过 300 秒就会被拒绝啦!快去校准一下时间吧~

小贴士 💡:

  • 如果遇到签名不匹配的错误,首先检查 APIKey 和 APISecret 是否正确~
  • 确保服务器的日期时间准确,偏差太大会导致 403 错误哦~
  • 签名中的 path 需要和实际请求的路径完全一致才可以呢~

Tips

  1. Video URL: Must be an OSS (Aliyun Object Storage Service) URL accessible by iFlytek
  2. Task status: Use get_task to check task progress
  3. Completed tasks: When status is "completed", the output_video_url contains the translated video
  4. Manual intervention: Some videos may require human review for transcript or translation
