Your RapidAPI application must be subscribed to the Scholar Sidekick API before you connect. Without a subscription every request is rejected with a 403 error, even though the RapidAPI key itself is valid.

​
Subscribing to Scholar Sidekick

RapidAPI only forwards requests to Scholar Sidekick for applications subscribed to one of its plans. The subscription belongs to a RapidAPI application, and that application’s key is the one you connect with.

1

Choose a plan

Sign in to your RapidAPI account, then open the Scholar Sidekick pricing page.

  • On the Basic plan, click Start Free Plan. Basic is free and allows 500 requests per month with a hard limit.
  • For higher quotas, click Choose This Plan on Pro, Ultra or Mega instead.
  • The plan applies to the application selected in RapidAPI, so subscribe with the same application whose key you will connect.

Confirm the subscription is active

Reload the Scholar Sidekick pricing page.

  • Your subscribed plan now shows Cancel Plan, and the other plans show Upgrade Plan.
  • If the account was already subscribed, you see this state straight away and can move on to copying the key.
  • Keep the subscription in place for as long as the connection is used. Canceling it stops all requests.

​
