Authentication using API key only isn't working #43

I'm following this very basic example using the API key I retrieved from my account settings.

require 'createsend'
cs = CreateSend::CreateSend.new :api_key => 'your api key'
clients = cs.clients

And it always results in this error:
CreateSend::Unauthorized: The CreateSend API responded with the following error - 50: Must supply a valid HTTP Basic Authorization header

Does the API no longer support key based authentication?

@joshnabbott Could you post how you resolved this?

Check that you're using API secret (not API key) to authenticate.

For example:

list = CreateSend::List.new({ api_key: "your-api-secret-here" }, "put-your-list-id-here")
list.details # => { "ListID" => "12345", ... }

@lenart I know that its not the place but can you point that where to find api secret and client secret.
all I can see is client Id & api key.
