Check the environment variables, configuration files, secrets management systems, or hardcoded values within your application's code where API keys or tokens are stored. Ensure they are the correct, active keys for the intended API and that they haven't expired or been revoked. Also, verify they are being sent in the correct header or parameter as specified by the API documentation.
