My credits have expired

Hello Sir/mam, I am Anay Srivastava. My credits have been expired. I have followed all the steps provided in the course but still I am not able to get the access to the API key. I have used the API key which was provided on the BoltIoT website. Replit.com is saying that the API which I am using is Invalid.

Hi @anaysrivastava.3004

While importing openai on line 1 you can import it as :

from boltiotai import openai

If boltiotai library is not installed you can go to the shell tab in replit and install the boltiotai library by using the following comand;

pip install boltiotai

Do try this and let us know. If you still face any issues, please feel free to get back to us.

If you’re getting an “Invalid API key” error, it might be due to one of the following reasons:

1. Expired Credits:

If your credits have expired, the Bolt Cloud might limit access to the API. Without enough credits, API requests may not work.

Solution: Recharge your account on the Bolt IoT platform to restore API access. If you’re on a free plan, you may need to purchase additional API credits.

2. API Key Mismatch:

If Replit.com is saying your API key is invalid, it might be because:

  • The API key you are using is outdated or copied incorrectly.
  • A typo or extra spaces might have been introduced when pasting it into Replit.

Solution:

  • Log in to your Bolt IoT Cloud account, go to the API section, and generate a new API key.
  • Make sure you copy the exact API key and replace the old one in your code on Replit.

3. API Key Revoked:

Sometimes the API key might be revoked due to inactivity or security concerns.

Solution: Regenerate a new API key from the Bolt Cloud and use the new one in your project.

4. Cross-Check Your API in the Code:

Ensure that your code correctly references the API key like this:

python

api_key = "your_new_api_key"
device_id = "your_device_id"

5. Check Replit’s Logs:

Check the logs on Replit to see if there are any specific error messages or issues related to your environment.

If none of these solutions work, you can contact Bolt IoT support to help with your account or API-related issues.
