New install and trying to get Zapier to connect.

API is enabled, HTTP Basic Auth is enabled.

Looking at the file structure via FTP shows no “/api/” folder present. Is this normal?

**Error from Zapier**

Try clear cache var/cache/prod/  
API folder not exist, there is routing.

That fixed it.

There should be a clear cache function in the UI.

Please excuse my lack of understanding. I have the exact same problem with Mautic 3.1.2 I do not see the path var/cache/prod/ (note the prod directory does not exist)…

Not clear on what exact path the cache is in.

Please advise.

</div>

I have a similar problem…

Running v3.0.1 with PHP 7.3.20-1

Every time I try connect the Zapier connector I get the following error:

## We hit an error adding your new account

authentication failed: Requested URL not found: /api/contacts?limit=1&minimal=1

I am at my wits end, and don’t know how to advise my system/server admin how to fix this issue.

Still the same issue. I have to use the default Zoho plugin - add Mautic crons and new fields in both services. Lead object is pushed to Zoho but the company object does not - it’s the issue with the data direction. I’m updating the plugin in hopes the settings with update. Bi-directional addon doesn’t update from UI and doesn’t recognize settings and field changes so far.

Hi,  
You must apply the guidelines in Troubleshooting section from [Mautic Docs](https://docs.mautic.org/en/troubleshooting) (Section 1. Clear the cache)  
I used my cPanel File Manager and went to /var/cache into [your-mautic-file-directory]  
I made a /prod directory copy in the same /var/cache path (I used /prod\_old as a good practice 😉 )  
I deleted the original /prod directory  
I refreshed the browser (what I really did was a Logout from every possible Mautic session AND closed the browser)  
…and voila! (it works for me, so I deleted the /prod\_old directory I created previously)  
Good luck!

I am having the same problem with Zapier. I tried all of these, and nothing had worked for me so far. I am using version 4.4.3
