Browser code exposes whatever key it ships with — use a sandbox key for prototypes and proxy live keys through your own server in production.

import os
import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.greyhoundapi.com/v1/trainers/search?name=Wiley",
    headers={"X-API-Key": os.environ["GAPI_KEY"]},
    timeout=10,
)
r.raise_for_status()
body = r.json()
print(body["meta"]["data_as_of"], body["data"])
