 * Hi,
 * Have you set up the API keys? If not, go to Dashboard -> Amazon Auto Links ->
   Settings and enter your API keys. If invalid keys are given, an error message
   will be shown when you press the Connect button.
 * If you see an error there, post the error message.

 * Sorry, I cannot comprehend what you mean.
 * Maybe, are you trying to say that you entered the same API keys used for Amazon
   Associates Link Builder?
 * Anyway, go to Dashboard -> Amazon Auto Links -> Settings. Tell me what status
   you see there. Is it Disconnected or Connected?

 * Yes, that is exactly what I mean.
 * Dashboard -> Amazon Auto Links -> Settings. Tell me what status you see there.
   Is it Disconnected or Connected?
 * This message appears to me: [https://ibb.co/MMyQN1z](https://ibb.co/MMyQN1z)
 * Or Sometimes I get this message: [https://ibb.co/Fhtf09S](https://ibb.co/Fhtf09S)
 * Message always changes when I click on connect. Sometimes there is even connected
   🤔

 * Hi,
 * So you get different error messages and it connects sometimes. It is indeed odd.
 * The error, 429: Too Many Requests, can be seen when you hit the daily API rate
   limit. Or it can also be triggered by setting the wrong locale. Make sure you
   enter the correct keys, locale, and the Associates ID. If you type one of them
   incorrectly, it can cause an error.
 * I’d suggest you test your keys on [ScratchPad](https://webservices.amazon.com/paapi5/scratchpad/index.html).
   Make sure you don’t get an error there.
 * Also, if you are running multiple sites using the same API keys, it could be 
   the reason to result in exceeding the rate limit. In that case, I’d suggest you
   try to reduce the number of API calls. One way to avoid reaching the API rate
   limit is to set a longer cache duration for each unit.
 * By the way, v4 (still in development) comes with a new unit type called Feed 
   units. With them, you can import external unit data into another site so that
   it helps to reduce a number of API calls.
