I am getting the below error. Please help, it seems the provided API_KEY is invalid.
File “/root/openaiproject/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/openai/_base_client.py”, line 1105, in request
raise self._make_status_error_from_response(err.response) from None
openai.AuthenticationError: Error code: 401 - {‘error’: {‘message’: “Incorrect API key provided: (‘Sk-kkA***********************************************************************************************c’,). You can find your API key at https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.”, ‘type’: ‘invalid_request_error’, ‘param’: None, ‘code’: ‘invalid_api_key’}}
The key / base_url combination is valid, I’m pretty sure. But your code (which you haven’t shown) needs to use them correctly. So you need to adapt code like this into what the task asks you to use:
# 1. Install OpenAI SDK: `pip install openai`
# 2. Execute the following code in Python shell:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="the api key",
base_url="the base url"
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-5.4-mini",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "In a single sentence, why should someone choose KodeKloud over other platforms to learn DevOps?"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
The structure of your app will differ somewhat, and you’ll need to get the values of api_key and base_url from the environment, along with using the model the task asks you to use.
