Why does my API key not work for some endpoints but my Access Token Auth works on it?

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=MY_API_KEY works, but only Access Token Auth works for https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/trending-movies. Using API Key on any of the Try it examples in https://developer.themoviedb.org/ does not work.
Error Message:
{
"status_code": 7,
"status_message": "Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key.",
"success": false
}
Trying different methods, https://api.themoviedb.org/3/trending/movie/day?language=en-US?api_key=MY_API_KEY does not work either.
The error message that appears below the authorization header field says "Sorry, you could not be authorized with those credentials."
It looks like this.

The syntax of this query is wrong. It should be : https://api.themoviedb.org/3/trending/movie/day?language=en-US&api_key=MY_API_KEY
A question mark is used in front of the parameters, but an ampersand is used between the parameters.

That worked! Thanks, I got it now.
Why does the problem occur in the Try it examples then?

Hi @Mayday0458, the "Try It!" examples only work when you select the "Access Token Auth" authentication for use in the header.
What happens when you select "API Key Auth" is it inserts your API Key into the Authorization header, which doesn't work. I would consider this a bug, it probably should either not allow you to select "API Key Auth" or convert the example to one that uses the API Key in the url.
