Exploring the Issue: What Causes the Invalid API Key Error?

The 'Invalid API Key' error occurs when the API key used in your request is incorrect or has expired. This can happen if the key was mistyped, revoked, or if you're using an outdated key. It's crucial to ensure that the API key is valid and correctly configured in your application.

Common Scenarios Leading to This Error

  • Using a test key in a production environment.

Step 2: Update Your Application

Once you've verified the correct API key, update your application configuration to use this key. Ensure there are no extra spaces or characters in the key string.

Step 3: Test Your Integration

After updating the key, test your application to ensure the API requests are successful. You can use tools like Postman to manually test API calls and verify responses.
