API connection, Credentials invalid

[strdst2090]

I am trying to connect to a platform called One Trust using an API Key. This is exactly what it looks like in the query editor - 

let
Source = Web.Contents("https://app-uk.onetrust.com/api/inventory/v2/inventories/vendors/", [ApiKeyName=api_key])
in
Source

In the authentication window, when I enter the API key, and hit Connect, I get the following error - 'We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided'.

Where exactly am I going wrong?

You need to provide the actual API key, either in the URL, the payload or in the header.  

Web.Contents - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Docs

Based on the link you've shared, I am using the format shown in Example 3 and I am passing the API key alongwith. 

//Web.Contents("https://contoso.com/api/customers/get", [ApiKeyName="api_key"])// - This is the format I use and I use the actual API key where it says api_key.

ApiKeyName has a different purpose. Please read the documentation again.
