Hi @ashchopra ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community.

You are experiencing a problem with the authentication of your Google Cloud API key, according to the 401 authorization error that you are receiving. You might attempt the following solutions to troubleshoot this problem:

  • Verify in your Google Cloud Console by navigating to the “APIs & Services” section and then selecting “Credentials”.

  • Verify your Google Cloud Console to make sure the Text-to-Speech API is enabled.

  • Verify that the API key value in the Authorization header is formatted correctly.

  • Verify if it fixes the problem, you can also try to generate a new API key and use that in your code.

Hope this will help you.
