Bing Search API: Getting 401 Acces Denied error while using the right suscription key

I am trying to connect to my newly created Bing Search API using Java in Android Studio.

When I execute the connection.getInputStream() statement, it returns a 401 error saying "Acces Denied".

The same error is returned when I provide a wrong suscription key on purpose. However, I am sure that the suscription key that I am using is right, as I am copying and pasting it from the Azure control panel, and it is from the only suscription I have (a trial one).

I need help, please. Thanks.

URL url = new URL("https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/search" + "?q=" +                  URLEncoder.encode(input, "UTF-8"));    HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();  connection.setRequestProperty("Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key", "(  censored  )");    try{    InputStream stream = connection.getInputStream();    }catch (Exception e){     //java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/search?q=...    int c = connection.getResponseCode(); // = 401  String s = connection.getResponseMessage(); // = "Acces Denied"    }
