'Client' has no member 'setKey'

what do you mean? what code?

TL;DR

Summary: The user is encountering an issue with the 'Client' class in their code. Other users explain that using the 'setKey()' method is unnecessary and should be removed. The solution is to not set the API key on the client side, and it is only needed for server-side API calls or Appwrite functions. The user should initialize the client in their code, and it is not necessary to have multiple instances of the 'Client' class. Tagging specific people is discouraged, and the user is reminded to read the documentation.

In the pictures

Are you still asking about the setKey()?

Your code looks like you're trying to initialize the client. Yiu can initialize the client anywhere in your code

It's best to have just one instance of Client though

@Steven I am talking about this

Please don't tag (@) people directly. Why do you need the API key?

An API key is needed in Appwrite only when creating cloud functions.

I mean you should never try using an Appwrite API key client side because:

It's not needed
It's not possible in client side SDK's
That allows the one that has such key having unlimited access to the given scopes (bypassing permissions)

So where should the server side be?

For server side API like Appwrite functions then you set API key, but as said, never set API key client side

So in Appwrite?

If you use Appwrite with a custom server or in Appwrite functions, as said, just if you execute the code server-sided

In your case, just don't set API key and done

How about user?

User don't need API key

But how to fix it

Just remove .setKey line

As said, never use .setKey in your app

@C09 have you read through the docs?

oh...where?
