Hi all, I’m doing the JavaScript Requests module and was prompted to create an account with Rebrandly. The given link took me to a page with a “create account” button. I clicked “sign up with my google account” and it sent me back to the login screen. Now every time I try to log in, a loading wheel appears and disappears, doing nothing, all the while not signing me in.
I wonder if anyone has (a) had this problem (b) knows a way to get around this in so I can continue with my codecademy module.
Did you try going to Rebrandly’s website (not through the link) and logging in with google from there?
Thanks for the reply. I just tried going from the google to the homepage of Rebrandly. Amazingly, the issue is still there. I can’t sign up or login, on either the home page or the “unauthorized” (not logged in) page.
I just cleared my browsing data (cookies and the rest) for the week. That gave me a fresh start. I’m now logged in.
Thanks again for the suggestion.
A follow up for anyone that may be experiencing the same problem. It was not the cookies. Something just got botched when I hit the sign up with google button. Clearing my cookies just allowed me to use the log in forms again. I did a password reset and I thought I was good to go – not the case, once I logged in the problem persisted.
The real fix was 1. clear cookies 2. Use a different email (without the automatic google sign up)
For me it’s still not working but I used Edge instead of Chrome and I managed to log in.
Hi guys. I just encountered the lesson and it is still error at the rebrandly side. I have contacted their support but it they are not any kind of support. I replaced it with other things. Actually the API call is not necessary to clear the lesson, just the variables should be according to the given task. Try to assume what Codecademy is checking and you will clear it 
Also you can use bitly API just add those params which they have asked you to enter, plus the ones used by bitly and you will clear the chapter.
