The key only works from certain networks and your IP is not one of them.

Special considerations
Read-only; storage never pauses
Your files are stored continuously and never pause, even without balance. To query them over the API, the API key needs the Storage service (storage): with it, the key sees everything (summary, usage, files, downloads, retention and pricing), and without it each of these endpoints answers 403 AUTH_SERVICE_NOT_ALLOWED. The API is read-only: the retention time is changed from the customer portal (Storage → Retention) and a file is deleted there or when it expires. Any method other than GET answers 405.
