Hi there! 👋 I'm sorry you're having trouble connecting your Speechmatics API key to VAPI. Let me help you troubleshoot this issue. Based on the "The provided credentials are not valid" error, here are some common causes and solutions: 1. Verify your API key - Double-check that you're using the correct API key and there are no extra spaces before or after it [source](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/1333897284894724188) 2. Check the format - Ensure you're entering the key in the correct format in the VAPI dashboard [source](https://docs.vapi.ai/customization/provider-keys) 3. Confirm key validity - Verify that your Speechmatics API key is active and hasn't expired or been revoked [source](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/1333897284894724188) 4. Authorization header format - If you're using the API directly, make sure your Authorization header is formatted correctly:
Copy code
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Check for network issues - Ensure there are no firewalls or network restrictions blocking the API requests [source](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/1336713212233515089) If you've tried these steps and are still experiencing issues, could you provide more details about how you're trying to connect the API key? Are you using the VAPI dashboard or making API calls directly?

I recreate another API but nothing changes. All the other API keys are connected.

Hello Eric, if you tried it in Incog and it worked, it is most likely a browser cache/cookies issue. Glad you got it solved, make sure to clear your browser cache if you get the chance.
