Cloudinary unknown API key

Hello, odd thing occurring.

I have set the API Key as an environment variable in DJANGO using a separate folder(to avoid uploading to github) and i am able to access it using PRINT from settings.py (CLOUD_NAME works perfectly so next is API Key which causes the following..)

The API key is the EXACT one on my dashboard, I get this as an error:

Request Method:	POST
Request URL:	http://127.0.0.1:1234/admin/Campaigns/campaign/add/
Django Version:	4.0.6
Exception Type:	Error
Exception Value:	Unknown API key ************ (* in place of my api key)

  This is my Django/Python Model
  
  
  
  class Campaign(models.Model):

      title = models.CharField(max_length=200)

      descriptin = models.TextField()

      slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)

      created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

      updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

      logo = CloudinaryField('image', overwrite=True, format="jpg")

      #Cloudinary has a model field that it ships with

  
  

      class Meta:

          ordering = ('-created_at',)

     

      def __str__(self):

          return self.title

     

      def save(self, *args, **kwargs):

          to_assign=slugify(self.title)

  
  

          if Campaign.objects.filter(slug=to_assign).exists:

              to_assign=to_assign+str(Campaign.objects.all().count())

  
  

          self.slug=to_assign

          super().save(*args, **kwargs)

  Hi Chris,

  Thank you for reaching out. 

  Could you please clarify what you mean by setting the API Key as an environment variable in DJANGO using a separate folder? If possible, can you show me how exactly you're creating these environment variables (redacted)? 

  The recommended way to define Cloudinary credentials is via:

  export CLOUDINARY_URL=cloudinary://<API-KEY>:<API-SECRET>@<CLOUD-NAME>

   

  The CLOUDINARY_URL value is available in the [dashboard of your Cloudinary account](https://cloudinary.com/console).

   

  We also have a sample Django project here if you'd like to check it out.

   

  If you prefer you can open a ticket over https://support.cloudinary.com as well if you need to send us sensitive information.

   

  I'm looking forward to your response.
  
  Kind Regards,
  Thomas
