For me API key is not working but API read access token is working
Let me know how to rectify it
```
url = f"https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/{person_id}/movie_credits?language=en-US"

    headers = {
        "accept": "application/json",
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {self.api_key}"
    }

    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers,verify=False)
    #print(response.text)
    res=json.loads(response.text)  

I assume you are testing/using "Try it!" in the documentation.

The "Try it!" option in DOCs it only works with the "Access Token Auth" option.
It doesn't work if you select the "API Key Auth" option.
It is a birth defect since the migration to this service.
I don't know if it can be fixed. I'm not a programmer.
Your API Key validation test is done using your Token.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/authentication-validate-key
If your Token works then your API Key must also work.

If you want to test your API Key directly, follow the instructions below.

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:

If it does not work, let us know right here.
