Invalid API key problem

Invalid API key problem



Dear Zoho team,

I recently used zohos API in my web site. I used the same API key for ZOho sheet , show and editor. The zoho editor opens up smoothly without any problems. However the sheet and show give me these errors. I am using the remote API method. The errors are listed below:

Sheet:

RESULT=FALSE ERROR_CODE=2890 WARNING=The api key is invalid.

Show:

RESULT=FALSE
ERROR_CODE=3890
WARNING=API Key is not valid
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have pasted the code below. The strange thing is that it works for the writer but not
for the other two.
