CrunchBase API v1

UPDATE: CrunchBase have now restored their own documentation so you should now use the canonical information at http://developer.crunchbase.com/. I am leaving this here in case of existing links to it but it is of historical interest only.

NOTE: This documentation has been put here because I couldn't find it anywhere else. I am not associated with Crunchbase in any way. I cannot help you with your Crunchbase API problems. If you need help try here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/crunchbase-api

HMRC Basic PAYE Tools authentication error 1046

If you're getting an authentication error when trying to make a submission using the HMRC Basic PAYE Tools then check your password length. A password of more than 12 characters will not work.

The website lets you set up a longer password and use it to log in but it will not work for the Basic PAYE Tools.

Change your password on the website to 12 characters or less and you should be able to make your submission. Note that on the password change page it does tell you it should be 12 characters or less.
