Hi, it works fine on my side, how did you get your API key ? If its a personal access token, did you selected the required permission ?

Hi,

Yes, have the token, seems to connect OK because it allows me to select a base.

But then fails here:

Deleted everything (plugin, token, etc), refreshed and started again. All works now.

Thanks!
