    This is the first solution I came across on the net that shows how to send a simple authToken via Retrofit GET request. Thanks!

    I am getting 401 Error

      Hello,

      The 401 error means unauthorized.

      Make sure that you are using correct credentials to generate the AuthToken.

      You can take the help of the backend team of your project to look into this point.
