OPENAI_API_KEY

[abdullah91111]

2025-02-22 20:55:44 openai.AuthenticationError: Error code: 401 - {'error': {'message': 'Incorrect API key provided: openai_a**_key. You can find your API key at https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.', 'type': 'invalid_request_error', 'param': None, 'code': 'invalid_api_key'}}

When the document is processed the status shows failed and the above error occurs.

However I have updated the .env file with my open ai api key

If im correct I only need to replace OPENAI_API_KEY = "my_API_KEY" and nowhere else right?

If someone can let me know the why this error occurs.

Also, since Difbott offers a free tier but is eventually a paid service, is the diffbott api key mandatory, and if so, for what?
