Missing RapidAPI application key (not missing)

Question

I am using rapidAPI. When I POST (Postman) I get the message:

{
    "message": "Missing RapidAPI application key. Go to https://docs.rapidapi.com/docs/keys to learn how to get your API application key."
}

The Problem is, that I have an RapidAPI aplication-key already in the POST

https://meetupdimashirokovv1.p.rapidapi.com/getEvents?x-rapidapi-host=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&x-rapidapi-key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&content-type=application/x-www-form-urlencoded&accessToken=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I have generated and tried out a new RapidAPI application key but it didn't work.

I can access the Meetup API directly. So the error occurs at the RapidAPI. — Julius, Mar 19 '20 at 11:48

RapidAPI supports passing the API key via a query parameter. You can do like this:

https://example.p.rapidapi.com/?rapidapi-key=***************************

Instead of this:

https://example.p.rapidapi.com/?x-rapidapi-key=***************************

That is because the x-RapidAPI-host and x-RapidAPI-key should not be in the HTTP parameter. since parameters specify the variable parts of your resources.

I also got this problem when I add the x-RapidAPI-host and x-RapidAPI-key in the params instead of in the headers.
