OpenAI saying "You didn't provide an API key", yet I have

Question

I am fairly new to API's and I'm trying to create a small web-app utilizing the Davinci text model.

I feel like I've done every step right when setting up the API, but I get an error that says:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "You didn't provide an API key. You need to provide your API key in an Authorization header using Bearer auth (i.e. Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY), or as the password field (with blank username) if you're accessing the API from your browser and are prompted for a username and password. You can obtain an API key from https://beta.openai.com.",
        "type": "invalid_request_error",
        "param": null,
        "code": null
    }
} 

Here is the function, I have set up for it:

  const [input, setInput] = useState("");

  async function fetchAnswer() {
    const res = await fetch("https://api.openai.com/v1/completions", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "applications/json",
        Authorization:
          "Bearer MY_API_KEY",
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        model: "text-davinci-003",
        prompt: "Create a lyric that rhymes with:" + input,
        temperature: 1,
      }),
    });
    const json = await res.json();
    console.log(json);
  }

Obviously I won't share the API key, but I can confirm that the API key I am copy and pasting into the function is correct and straight from what OpenAI provided me.

Is there something else I am missing?

Answer 1

It seems that you might have reached a limit, or your API key is not valid anymore due to payment settings missing in your account.

If you update that and generate a new API key, everything should work.
