Research direction
The error comes from the upload call in this Node.js SDK when the API returns HTTP 401 Unknown API key; find where that response is turned into an error and read how the Node.js quickstart words its Claimable Cloud prerequisite. Done means the invalid-key error text points to Claimable Cloud, with a test for the 401 path. The issue doesn't settle the exact wording or link, so confirm those with the maintainers first.

Description
Hi, I'm Niranjan, a third-year engineering student researching how AI coding agents set up developer products on their own.
On 14 Oct 2026, I re-checked cloudinary (2.11.0) with a fake API key. The upload attempt returned HTTP 401: Unknown API key test_fake_key_123
Your Node.js quickstart already mentions Claimable Cloud in the main prerequisites, which is helpful. Could the SDK's invalid-key error also point to the no-signup option? An agent that reaches this error might otherwise stop without finding it.
