Do you really have a semi-colon at the end of your api key in the
environment file ?

If you’ve set it up in the environment file you shouldn’t need to set it up
in the system and user environment variables also as I think Gnucash
over-writes these values with what you have in the Gnucash environment file.

Also you don’t need to set it up as both system and user environment
variables unless the user variable you want to use a different value for a
user for some reason.

Cheers Dave H
