My question :

How I found the problem :
When submitting the collectionI’ve already tried :
Have you updated the “postman_api_key” collection variable for day 01?
You need to ensure your generated API key is in the “current” value.
You will need to do this for every day.

Yes I did update the current value with the Api key. But the error remains.
The error is telling you that it can’t find the API key.
It doesn’t appear to be an issue with the header, so its more likely that the issue is with the collection variable.
Can you share a screenshot of the collection variables? (Redacting the value as appropriate).

postman_api_key”
You can check this by adding a line at the top of the tests tab for the submission to pull the current value of the collection variable.
console.log(pm.collectionVariables.get("postman_api_key"));
Then check the log to ensure its not coming back as “undefined”.
(Remember to remove the line of code after you get it working).
Also check that the variables starts with “PMAK-”

Hi Jones,
I added my postman_api_key here under the current value in Collection varables
Not sure what else to recommend, apart from generating a new API key and trying again.
The other thing to check is the actual request that is being sent in the Console Log.
Check the headers and that the x-api-key is being sent in the request, and that it matches the variable.

I tried regenerating the API and adding it. But still the same thing.
How about the console log. Have a look at what is actually being sent.
