HTTP 401 · Missing API key

Why it happens

Every v1 endpoint except coverage and health authenticates with X-API-Key or Authorization: Bearer, including the free search, usage and company data endpoints.

How to fix it

Create a key in the dashboard and send it as X-API-Key: ck_live_… (or Authorization: Bearer ck_live_…).
