Dear Fellows,

Iam writing a little javascript-library I want to share with all of the write.as - Users wich is nice to use. I have a password-protected blog (collection) from wich I want to get the posts. First I authenticate with alias:pass and get in response my Token.  
Next thing is to get my posts, Answer: 401: You don’t have permission to access this collection.  
This must be a bug, I really want not believe, that no write.as - User at the moment is not using the API and runs into this problem.

Dear Matt: Please, please fix this the next hour or so. I want to code, want to write and cant, because I stuck with this open problems. Matt, here is some foretaste for your holydays:

 ![Pina-Colada-056](https://discuss.write.as/uploads/default/original/2X/2/272bd326ed6be844163103d029ec4a20ea13294f.webp)

close your eyes, take a nip, relax for 5 minutes, enjoy the pina collada.

Then: Please fix my problems 🙂  
Cheers, Dietrich
