When using model card of my private speech recognition model with LM, I got this error: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: [https://huggingface.co/api/models/taliai/tali-asr-with-lm/revision/main](https://huggingface.co/api/models/taliai/tali-asr-with-lm/revision/main) while the same model without lm works fine. Is there anything wrong on my model or model card or … Any help is appreciated. ---

Hi @talids, you’re getting a 401 error because you’re not authenticated when making the request, and either: - the model doesn’t exist - the model is private From your message, I get that you’re in the second situation. Please make sure that you’re authenticated when calling the API. You’ll need a [personal access token](https://hf.co/settings/tokens) to do so, which you can then pass in the `Authorization` header of your request in the form `Bearer `. ---

Thanks @pierric, Actually, my model is private, but I logged in already, and access token is also correct. I checked them many times, even I generated new access tokens, but the error message is the same. ---

Hi @talids, When you say that you’re “logged in already”, what do you mean exactly? Do you mean that you’re logged-in in your browser on [hf.co](http://hf.co)? What do you use to make your call to [https://huggingface.co/api/models/taliai/tali-asr-with-lm/revision/main](https://huggingface.co/api/models/taliai/tali-asr-with-lm/revision/main)? Do you use a python lib? ---

Sure! Here is a bit more detail. This is the error we are getting And this is the case for this specific model. our other ASR model which is not `withLM` is working fine. ![Screen Shot 2022-06-29 at 6.40.05 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/2X/d/d4542b9be9ef267cffb8acdbc00ffa65c6b48379.png) ---

@israel can you give more details? - is it happening when you’re trying to use the inference widget? if not, what specific HTTP call are you making? - what model/repo are you talking about? ---

@ pierric, same issue here. The Model/repo in question: yhavinga/t5-base-dutch The error message: “Repository Not Found for url: [https://huggingface.co/api/repos/create](https://huggingface.co/api/repos/create). Please make sure you specified the correct `repo_id` and `repo_type`. If the repo is private, make sure you are authenticated. Unauthorized - Unauthorized” I am logged in, it seems to make no difference if I do so with a read or write access token. ---

Hi everyone I’m getting the same issue when trying to run the textural inversion example from the example script here: [Textual Inversion](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/training/text_inversion) Edit: the error specifically is “ **HTTPError:** **401** Client Error: Unauthorized for url: [https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4/resolve/main/tokenizer/vocab.json](https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4/resolve/main/tokenizer/vocab.json)” followed by a hefty traceback This happens with CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4 model and I’m “logged in” using huggingface-cli, so that whoami returns “OzzyD”. Edit: Incidentally, I can open this file from the link in my browser, so it must be something to do with authenticating on the command line. I’m having the feeling I’m not doing this correctly. Am I? ---

Hi @OzzyD , have you accepted the license on [CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4 ¡ Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4) page ? If yes, can you share which version of `huggingface_hub` you are using and the full traceback you are getting ? We are making efforts to make error messages more explicit but gated repos are still not handled perfectly. Next version of `huggingface_hub` (to be released soon) should solve that. ---

Hi @Wauplin. I have accepted the license on the v1-4 model page. However, whilst checking for what version of huggingface\_hub I had installed, I decided to update my Python environment to the one suggested in the requirements.txt file for that repo, which I already thought it was. This appeared to fix my issue. My rookie mistake. I look forward to the update to huggingface\_hub and thank you for your time 🙂 ---

I am getting the same error for a private model (my own) on one machine, but I don’t get the error on another machine. I have checked the versions of transformers and huggingface\_hub and they are both same. I also tried with and without the ‘huggingface\_hub login’ and the error persists. The exact error I get is > RepositoryNotFoundError: 401 Client Error: Repository not found for url: [https://huggingface.co/maveriq/mymodel/resolve/main/modelling\_mymodel.py](https://huggingface.co/maveriq/mymodel/resolve/main/modelling_mymodel.py). If the repo is private, make sure you are authenticated. However as stated earlier in the thread, I can open the url. huggingface-hub 0.10.1 transformers 4.24.0 Update : While I was posting this, I downgraded huggingface\_hub to 0.9.1 and transformers to 4.22.2, and it worked on the machine where earlier I was getting the above stated error ---
