## Troubleshooting

### Data Preview Unavailable

No data preview when you click on **Test Data** might be caused by an issue with your ***source*** configuration. The most common causes are:

- **Date range**: Try a smaller date range. You can load the rest of your data afterward via [manual data load](https://docs.dataddo.com/docs/data-backfilling).
- **Insufficient permissions**: Please make sure your authorized account has at least admin-level permissions.

An API token is a code snippet used to secure API access. It's sent to API servers as identification, confirming whether the user or application has access, and provides both authentication and user/application information to the API server.

Authorizers act as credentials for external services (e.g. Facebook or Google). To enable Dataddo to access and retrieve your data, you need to grant access to accounts that possess admin-level permissions or higher within these services.
