whizzy · 2025-06-16T06:01:30.308Z

When I search for api key using the DB, it appears, but doesn't work when I try the same using api key validate, I get an error Keys not found I am using this in external api, which dont have auth setup thouhg, coz my main app is nextjs, and for hono I am using api keys so people can call endpoints

Please share your auth.ts and also where you are validating/creating api keys,

If you havn't disabled hashing for keys then the key you see in your database will actually be the Hashed API key and not the actual api key
