When I uploading my local cast file by use below command:

```auto
asciinema upload xxx.cast

```

I get this error.

```auto
asciinema: upload failed: API endpoint not found. 
This asciinema version may no longer be supported. 
Please upgrade to the latest version.

```

But, my asciinema version is 2.0.1

How to solve it, thanks a lot.

Are you using your own asciinema-server instance? What is the API host in the URL printed by `asciinema auth`? Don’t paste full URL here, as it contains your private install ID! 😉 Just the part before `/connect` is what interests me.

Thanks for your reply.

I got this message:

```auto
Open the following URL in a web browser to link your install ID with your asciinema.org user account:

http://asciinema.org/connect/xxxxxxx

This will associate all recordings uploaded from this machine (past and future ones) to your account, and allow you to manage them (change title/theme, delete) at asciinema.org.

Since asciinema 0.9.9 the API URL is HTTPS, not HTTP. That means you must have it overwritten to HTTP somewhere.  
Check env variable `ASCIINEMA_API_URL` (if you have it set), or the [config file](https://asciinema.org/docs/config) and make sure it’s HTTPS.
