403 - The request is missing a valid API key. -- inconsistently

[Bj Tenney]

I can call the google translate api using http post with the following setup in postman:

I can run this request and it will work several times, and then it fails with:

{

    "error": {

        "code": 403,

        "message": "The request is missing a valid API key.",

        "errors": [

            {

                "message": "The request is missing a valid API key.",

                "domain": "global",

                "reason": "forbidden"

            }

        ],

        "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"

    }

}

I can then run it again, and things work again for several requests and it fails.  It's inconsistent and may fail a couple times in a row, and then start working again.
