If the API Key contains a newline, an incorrect error is thrown

[carbone]

I am reading my API key from a file. My editor was adding a newline if the file was open. The result was that any call made via the client would error with the message "you must provide a model parameter", even though a model parameter was being sent.

I fixed my issue by simply trimming the result of my call to get the file's contents but the error message from the API was very confusing. Maybe just add the trim before sending to the API?

This problem happens with any package when dealing with incorrect api keys so not really a bug but there could probably be a better error message.

This is probably an easy change so maybe open a PR to map the error to something more meaningful?

The error is provided by OpenAI so it's not possible to change the error on the library side.
But feel free to submit a PR which trims the API key automatically.
