# Invalid API Key

> Fixing the “Invalid API key” message despite having an up-to-date key

Most Lilith features pull data directly from Hypixel's API, to do this Lilith needs to have an API Key as required by Hypixel.

If you encounter an Invalid API Key message follow this guide:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Check your API Key using this website: [https://key.yanice.me](https://key.yanice.me).

    If the key comes back as valid, move forward to the next step.
    Otherwise get a [new API Key](/guides/setup/apikey) or subscribe to [Lilith Ultimate](https://lilith.rip/#pricing) to get access to API Key-less.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Confirm that both the Discord account **linked to Lilith** and the Discord account **linked to the [config site](https://me.lilith.rip)** are the **same**.

    To check the Discord account linked to Lilith run the [`/whoami`](/commands/lilith/whoami) command.

    If they don’t match, then Lilith will not be pulling the correct config data which would include the correct api key.

    <Tip>
      Open a [ticket](https://discord.gg/lilith) if you lost access to the Discord account linked to Lilith or would like to switch.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Restart Lilith.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Make sure that both your game language and Hypixel language are set to English, as Lilith only supports English at the moment.
  </Step>
