403 Forbidden resposnse from a GET request to http://api.espn.com/v1/sports/news/6277112

I have problem with the ESPN API:

I have an API key, and sent a query to the address http://api.espn.com/v1/sports/news/1581816?region=GB, which included my API key in the parameters.

I received 403 forbidden response: with this JSON { "status": "error", "code": 403, "message" : "Account Inactive" }

I am looking at http://developer.espn.com/docs/headlines#using-the-api and at the last line it says that i can make a GET request to this url and it should work, but it doesn't.

How can I receive a valid response from the ESPN servers?

I just test it and it works fine. That means your key is invalid, or you are not including it. Replace below and it will work.

http://api.espn.com/v1/sports/news/1581816?region=GB&apikey=<yourKey>
