[BUG] api key not taken when passing in during client initialization instead of env variable. #31
Description
This happens for pre-flight Moderation guardrail, but not output NSFW guardrail. If I pass in the key during client initialization with both guardrail enabled at the same time, output guardrail will return proper response while the input guardrail errors (see below). I've also tested passing the same key through environment variable, it works for the input Moderation guardrail. So there's a bug in the api_key passing during init to the moderation api. We should be able to set keys during client initialization for using different keys for different instances.
