I am trying to import Quandl data using the following instruction:
quandl.get('WIKI/GOOGL')
The following error getting popped out:

quandl.errors.quandl_error.QuandlError: (Status 403) Something went wrong. Please try again. If you continue to have problems, please contact us.
Following is my code:
import pandas as pd
import quandl
df = quandl.get("FRED/GDP")
print(df.head())
An error 403, as stated on the Quandl API docs states that you need an API key to access that. Here are the steps to rectify it-
1.Create a free/premium account on Quandl.
2.Generate an API key from account settings options.
3.Include your API key in the script as, quandl.ApiConfig.api_key = "YOURAPIKEY".
