- Store the key: Set the key as ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY.
- Verify it works: Open https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=GLOBAL_QUOTE&symbol=IBM&apikey=YOUR_KEY in a browser and check that a JSON quote comes back instead of an error message.
- Alpha Vantage authenticates by passing the API key as an apikey query parameter on every request (https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=…&apikey=…); it does not accept the key in an HTTP header.
