A 401 error typically indicates an authentication issue, even if your API key and other parameters seem correct. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Verify API Key:

   • Ensure that your API key is valid and has the necessary permissions for the endpoint you're using. Double-check that you're including it in the xi-api-key header without any typos.

2. Correct Header Format:

   • Make sure the API key is being passed in the correct format. The header should look like this:

     {
       "xi-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
     }
     

3. Check for Updates:

   • Ensure you're using the latest version of the ElevenLabs SDK. If not, update and reinstall the SDK to avoid compatibility issues.

4. Environment Variables:

   • If you're using environment variables to store the API key, confirm that they are being loaded correctly in your application.

5. Test with a Simple HTTP Request:

   • To rule out SDK-specific issues, try making a direct HTTP request using a tool like axios or fetch. For example:

     const axios = require('axios');
     
     axios.post('https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/YOUR_MODEL_ID', {
       text: "Test text",
       model_id: "eleven_turbo_v2_5"
     }, {
       headers: {
         "xi-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
         "Content-Type": "application/json"
       }
     }).then(response => {
       console.log(response.data);
     }).catch(error => {
       console.error(error.response.data);
     });
     

6. Check for Rate Limits or Quotas:

   • Ensure your account has sufficient quota or credits remaining. If you're on a free plan, you may have hit a limit.

7. Account Status:

   • Confirm that your account is active and not restricted. If you're part of a company workspace, ensure your subscription is still valid.

8. Error Details:

   • Look for additional details in the error response body. Sometimes, the response includes a specific message like invalid_api_key or quota_exceeded.

If you've tried all the above steps and the issue persists, it might be related to your account or API key configuration. In that case, please contact the ElevenLabs support team by submitting a request through the ticket form.
