@zulfi984 do you have ETHERSCAN_API_KEY inside .env file?

[alymurtazamemon]

@zulfi984 I have pushed you can check.

@zulfi984 I have pushed you can check.

I merged and pulled the changes.. It's still showing invalid api key 😐

@zulfi984 I have pushed you can check.

Any update?

[alymurtazamemon]

@zulfi984 I didn't check again. And I am seeing many others have the same issue, maybe etherscan has an issue.

Now it's solved without any changes.
Yes, it's etherscan's issue..

NomicLabsHardhatPluginError: Invalid API Key usually happens when it is a new API key. Can you try now and let me know? (Also, please cross-check that there are no typos in .env and the link provided)

If it persists, I will look into it.
