Yoda Speak Api. Is it the key or code?

Question

I am trying to use the Yoda speak api. Here is my fiddle of it:

$.ajax({
    url: 'https://yoda.p.mashape.com/yoda', // The URL to the API. You can get this by clicking on "Show CURL example" from an API profile
    type: 'GET', // The HTTP Method
    data: {sentence: $("#boxArea").val()}, // Additional parameters here
    datatype: 'json',
    success: function (data) {
        alert(data);
    },
    error: function (err) {
        alert(err);
    },
    beforeSend: function (xhr) {
        xhr.setRequestHeader("X-Mashape-Authorization", "<RvyROurVRvmshRzDcAtXABdytvkDp1MtroWjsnXo8Dcs9Dq6SB>"); // Enter here your Mashape key
    }
});});});

I think the code all works but I keep getting 403 errors saying my key does not work. I keep resetting my key but it keeps saying that it does not work. Is it the key or something else? Also the "yoda speak" will be displayed as alert?

Remove the < > operators from your key. Also assuming this is your actual mashape key you wouldn't want to post it here for everyone to see. As a side note I have been using the above API for a while. Combined with Mashape issues and the actual API endpoint down time I had significant issues and so switched to http://funtranslations.com/api/yoda and it is working like a charm. — dors, Apr 06 '16 at 18:30

Just a guess, but have you tried removing the outer angle brackets?

Try changing this:

xhr.setRequestHeader("X-Mashape-Authorization", "<RvyROurVRvmshRzDcAtXABdytvkDp1MtroWjsnXo8Dcs9Dq6SB>");

To this:

xhr.setRequestHeader("X-Mashape-Authorization", "RvyROurVRvmshRzDcAtXABdytvkDp1MtroWjsnXo8Dcs9Dq6SB");
