@DikshaDisciplines @AJaySi

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The error you’re encountering is due to the METAPHOR API Key exceeding its free monthly limit of 1000 searches. This is a limitation of the default API key currently configured in the tool.

Update on the Fix:

We’ve recently implemented changes to address this issue. The new update includes:

  • Custom API Key Input: Users can now provide their own METAPHOR_API_KEY and GEMINI_API_KEY directly in the tool if the default key has reached its limit.

  • Improved Error Handling: The tool will now provide clearer feedback when the API key limit is exceeded or if the key is invalid.

Before update:

After update:

These changes are in the final stages of review and will be merged and deployed soon. Once deployed, you’ll be able to resolve this issue by either using your own API key.

I appreciate your patience, and we’ll notify you as soon as the update is live!

Best regards
