Hi ban102763 ,
The "A web API Key can only be specified when a web API Key name is provided" error typically occurs when the API key name is not properly defined in the request configuration.
In some cases, you may want to provide separate URL header data.
In this case, select the Advance option in the Web dialog box.
The Bearer your_api_token_here section is the value of the Authorization header, where Bearer is a common authentication scheme, followed by the actual API token.
If you want to learn more about this, please see the following documentation:

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.
