Make sure there isn't a space in your API key and try again.

Sometimes when it's copied there is a space at the beginning, which it looks like what is going on from your error.

Thank you!!! This solved it for me

API keys are required to use the service that BlenderGIS uses to download SRTM data. That can be obtained from opentopography.org.

It worked straight after writing you thanks had to restart blender
