Firebase curl is "Unauthorized" with correct API key

There are multiple key for firebase it seems. The one I needed was found doing:
Settings -> Cloud Messaging -> Look at the bottom for Server key.

From here:
How can I send a Firebase Cloud Messaging notification without use the Firebase Console?
Trying this:
curl -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Authorization:key=<Your Api key>" -X POST -d '{ "to": "/topics/foo-bar","data": { "message": "This is a Firebase Cloud Messaging Topic Message!"}}' https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/sendWith my API key. I get the response:
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Unauthorized</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000"> <H1>Unauthorized</H1> <H2>Error 401</H2> </BODY> </HTML>What am I doing wrong, or is there a different way to send notifications from my server (I'd be doing POST requests from my server). Using curl from terminal.
Is there a difference between a Web API key and a server key? I'm currently using the web api key.

albert c braun almost 7 yearsThanks. That worked. In my test today, I successfully used "Server key", as you pointed out. I also was able to use "Legacy server key".
