Authentication Failures:

Rate Limiting Errors:

• API keys may be subject to rate limiting restrictions. Review the API documentation to understand the rate limits for your key.
  

• If you're hitting rate limits, consider optimizing your API usage or upgrading your subscription plan, if applicable.
  

Permissions and Access:

• Confirm that the API key has the necessary permissions to access the specific resources or endpoints you're trying to reach.
