ML4KComponent extension not working (Solved)

Hello everyone

I am testing in MIT App Inventor the extension ML4K downloaded from the Machine Learning For Kids website. This extension has been imported and installed in my Make Me Happy project, for the ML4KComponent I have entered my Watson API key, but when testing the app I have the following notification message: "Your API key does not look like a machine learning key. It is a secret code you have to copy from the App Inventor page on the Machine Learning for kids website." I am confused not sure which API key is then required, any help?

Hello everyone,

I finally solved the problem! The app doesn't require the IBM Watson API key but rather the API key for the specific project. This key isn’t displayed when accessing App Inventor through the ML4K “Make” button. However, if you select Python instead, you’ll see the project API key, which you can then use in MIT App Inventor. Simply copy this key and set it in the ML4KComponent key property within the MIT App Inventor Designer.

Thank you for letting everyone know. How to find the key is certainly not intuitive!
