    I've been trying to figure this out for days. When I look at what someone or anyone pays and such, a box pops up and says my API number is not valid even though I've paid the $4.99 for the month and thought I had done it right but apparently not. How do I fix this?

    If you want to DM me screenshots I can give a bit more targeted advice on which script it is & if it's a copy/paste problem or something funky on our end.

    This portion of the API page has videos for all the integrated scripts (TVJS, MTS, Forker):

    https://turkerview.com/account/api/#api-instructions

    If you click the script name still displaying the API key error it'll load a video with instructions on inputting the key, my guess would be more than one script running (which is fine) but only input the key into one of them? But either way happy to walk through it, usually pretty simple problem to solve since my documentation is never all that great haha
