I have placed the API key in the .env file. But acter running crewai run I get the following error:
openai.AuthenticationError: Error code: 401 - {‘error’: {‘message’: 'Incorrect API key provided: your_key.
I can see my KEY on the openAI web site at https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
Taking into consideration the kind of error message you have, in my view your .env file contains the placeholder value your_key instead of your actual API key.
To solve the issue my suggestion is the following:
Open your .env file and replace:
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key
with your real OpenAI API key:
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
Make sure the key starts with sk- and is copied correctly from your OpenAI account!
Happy coding!
