Ah, I finally figured it out! 😅 Turns out I was passing the API key directly instead of wrapping it in a config object. I went back to the docs (should’ve done that earlier) and saw that tiny note about it. Here’s the fix: python import deepseek config = { "api_key": "MY_API_KEY_HERE" } api = deepseRead more

Thanks for the quick response! I tried all the steps you mentioned: 1. I double-checked my API key—no extra spaces or missing characters. 2. I regenerated the API key just to be sure. 3. I even tried using environment variables as you suggested. But I’m still getting the same `401 Authentication FaiRead more

3. I even tried using environment variables as you suggested.
But I’m still getting the same `401 Authentication Failed` error. Here’s what my updated code looks like:
I made sure the environment variable is set correctly, and I even printed it out to confirm it’s being read properly. Still no luck. Could there be something else I’m missing? Maybe something related to permissions or the API endpoint?
I’m using Python 3.8 and running this in a virtual environment. Any other ideas? Thanks again for your help!

python
import deepseek

}
api = deepseek.connect(config=config)
response = api.generate_text(prompt=”Hello World!”)
print(response)
It’s one of those small details that’s easy to miss. Thanks for the help earlier—it pushed me to dig deeper!
If anyone else gets stuck, double-check how you’re passing the API key. Sometimes the solution is simpler than you think!
