Hiding API KEY in .env

Question

I kept getting the message 'You are not subscribed to this API.'

This doesn't happen if it place the API Key into my fetchData.js file but if i want it to be secure and place it in the .env file, i get this message.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I moved my .env file to the root of my project and it worked...Thanks

you must activate the free subscription, that's sufficient.

This seems like a common error when you have you .env file stored in src instead of root of your project. Try moving it and then restarting your server. That should work.
