Use 'import biolib' (not 'import pybiolib').

cause API key not set or incorrect.

fix

Generate a valid API key from BioLib dashboard and set it: biolib.api_key = 'your_key_here'.

Warnings

breaking In version 1.3+, the import path changed from pybiolib to biolib. Old imports will fail. ↓

fix Use 'import biolib' instead of 'import pybiolib'.

gotcha API key must be set before creating a Session. Setting it afterward has no effect. ↓

fix Set biolib.api_key immediately after import.

deprecated The old session initialization method biolib.Session(api_key='...') is deprecated. Use biolib.api_key assignment instead. ↓

fix Set biolib.api_key = 'your_key', then session = biolib.Session().
