Original post
I cant seem to get an API connection using the Unreal plugin on Version 4.27.2 My API key works using Unity however using the plugin from https://github.com/HypeRate/HypeRateUE and following the example given my API never seems to connect it always returns 80 The only error I managed to receive was` LogWebSockets: Warning: Lws(Warning): lws_client_handshake: got bad HTTP response '403' LogTemp: [HYPERATE::DEV] OnConnectionError HS: ws upgrade response not 101` I am using internal-testing for my topic ID and the UE4 first person example for my player blueprint

The 403 is only returned when the API key is not correct - can you please check for trailing spaces to ensure that it matches 1:1?

<@292022509380042752> maybe there is a copy and paste error - we also got this feedback often for the unity plugin 😦

Thanks for the advice, I have now tried inputting the code manually and still it returns the same error

I managed to fix the issue, when I recompiled the uproject to work with UE5 the API managed to connect

I know this is an old thread, but would you mind telling me how you managed to get the plugin to work with UE5 as it keeps throwing errors back? Many thanks

It's been a while, I remember a forum post about recompiling UE4 plugins to UE5 you had to load them in visual studio or something and change the target version in a text file I think. Try looking up converting UE4 plugins to UE5
