I have almost completed the project assigned to me pertaining to my internship at bolt iot, but its showing error that the API key is not identified. Because of it the entire code is becoming malfunctional. Anyone please give some recommendations on how I can resolve it.

Hi @2021chb1056

Can you share screenshots of the code and the output? This will help us to provide a better solution.

Try To Restart The Course And Again Write The Code…It will surely help even I was facing similar fate

If you are using replit check your secret key and if running locally check your environment variables in the .env file.

check your values in conf file if you have created one and remember to import it in your code .
You can also check if your api key is valid or not .You can regenerate a new key using bolt cloud and copy it again everywhere you used the key .
Make sure your device id os also correct

Hi,

  1. If you are coding in replit and storing the variables in “Secrets”, then you have to store the device id and api key in 2 different variables like-my_secret1_deviceid=os.environ['device_id], my_secret2_apikey=os.environ[‘api_key’] or you can use any variable name as you want.
  2. If you are coding in ubuntu ,then you should check the conf.py file where you have written your code and check if it is saved or not.
    3.You can also change the api key in the bolt cloud.

hey @2021chb1056 !
If you are getting an error of the API key not being identified, please once go through the points stated below:

1.Check the API Key: Make sure the API key you’re using is correct. You can find it on the Bolt IoT website after logging in.
2. Environment Variables: If you’re storing the API key in an environment variable, ensure it’s set up correctly and your code can access it.
3.Configuration Files: If the API key is in a file, double-check that the file is in the right place and is being loaded by your code.
4.Permissions: Make sure your code has permission to read the file or environment variable where the API key is stored.
5.Using the API Key: Ensure you’re using the API key correctly in your code. Double-check how you’re passing it to the API.
6.Debugging: Add print statements to see if the API key is being loaded correctly. This will help you find out where the problem is.
7.Check the Documentation: Look at the Bolt IoT documentation to make sure you’re calling the API the right way.
8.Network Issues: Ensure your internet connection is stable, as network problems could be causing the issue even if your key is correct.

I hope this helps.
Have a good day.
