I'm trying to fetch data from the Weather API, and I think I've done everything right. My API key matches exactly what I have on the OpenWeatherMap site, and I'm using the correct URL. I've also placed my .env file outside the source folder where it should be. However, I'm still facing issues because my console is displaying a 401 error, which indicates a failure to load resources. I'm at a loss for what to do next!

You might think everything's correct, but it's easy to overlook a small error. Take a moment to breathe and approach the situation with fresh eyes. Sometimes, saying 'I didn't make any mistakes' can block you from spotting the actual issue that might be lurking in the code.
Have you tried making a manual API request using Postman or a similar tool? That might help identify if the issue lies in your code or the API itself. Without seeing the code and the exact request, it's hard to pinpoint the problem.
I hear you! It's frustrating when you're sure you've done everything right.
