Search API Key Forbidden Error
TLDR Jeremy encountered a "Forbidden" error when using a search API key. Kishore Nallan discussed possible causes, and Jeremy discovered they mistakenly used a production key in a test environment.

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 13:37:09 UTCI just created a search only api key, and now when I replace the inital api key that was created with the search key, i get `"message": "Forbidden - a valid `x-typesense-api-key` header must be sent."`
