The Movie Database Support

Hey, I was granted an API key, but when I implemented it into my code, I keep getting {"status_code":7,"status_message":"Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key.","success":false}. here is my code: import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react"; import "./OptionsTabs.css"; import Nav from 'react-bootstrap/Nav'; import NavDropdown from 'react-bootstrap/NavDropdown'; import GenreList from "./GenreList";

function OptionsTab () { const { VITE_MOVIE_API_KEY } = import.meta.env

const [genres, setGenres] = useState([]);


const fetchGenresData = async () => {
    try {
        const response = await fetch(
          `https://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/movie/list?language=en&${VITE_MOVIE_API_KEY}`,
          {
            headers: {
                accept: 'application/json',
                Authorization: `Bearer ${VITE_MOVIE_API_KEY}`,
            },

          }  
        );

        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(`Error fetching genres: ${response.statusText}`);
        }
        const data = await response.json();
        setGenres(data.results);
    }   catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching genres:', error);
    }
};

useEffect(() => {
    fetchGenresData();
}, []);  

Can anyone help me out? Although I'm pretty sure its not my code and its the API key itself

Only the Travis Bell admin and you can access your API Key.
So I suggest you

Take a Test
Using a computer, desktop or notebook.
On some mobile devices this test may not work correctly.
In the URL below, change THE_KEY to your API Key.
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=THE_KEY
Use this example to do a search using a new tab or window in your browser.
You will receive the basic data of the Movie Fight Club (1999)
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/550-fight-club
If it works, your Key is OK.

When there is a problem, the TMDb Server sends a message.
Can you tell which message the server sent?
Here is a list of possible messages:
