Invalid API key

[khoadng]

Got this error when running this code snippet

Error

Exception has occurred: BadKeyError
Invalid API key
  File "C:\Users\Admin\Projects\test.py", line 4, in <module>
    results = sauce.from_url('https://i.imgur.com/oZjCxGo.jpg')  # or from_file()

Code

from saucenao_api import SauceNao

sauce = SauceNao()
results = sauce.from_url('https://i.imgur.com/oZjCxGo.jpg')  # or from_file()

best = results[0]  # results sorted by similarity
print(best.author)

Do I need to provide an API key or something?

The error occurred because the server returned an HTTP 403 Forbidden response:

{'header': {'status': -1, 'message': 'The anonymous account type does not permit API usage.'}}

SauceNao probably no longer supports anonymous requests, and yes, you will have to register and pass an API key with every request. (With the key, the request is successful.)

@khoadng You have to pass the API key to the SauceNao class:

# Replace the key with your own
sauce = SauceNao('077f16b38a2452401790540f41246c7d951330c0')

To get the key, register using the link: https://saucenao.com/user.php?page=search-api

I think this can't be considered a bug in the library. If SauceNao's policy doesn't change in the next few days, I'll make api_key a required parameter and update the examples.

Other than this, everything works flawlessly. Nice work!
Thanks for this awesome library.
