Dear D-ID Support Team,

I am currently trying to use the D-ID API with Python, but I am encountering issues with the authorization process. The API key contains a colon (:), and it is causing confusion about how to format the Authorization header correctly. Whether it should be parsed, but regardless I keep running into errors, such as:

Error: 403 {"message":"Authorization header requires 'Credential' parameter. Authorization header requires 'Signature' parameter. Authorization header requires 'SignedHeaders' parameter. Authorization header requires existence of either a 'X-Amz-Date' or a 'Date' header."}

This error leads me to believe the authentication process might involve AWS-style signing, but I couldn't find any mention of this in the documentation. I’ve tried various approaches, including signing requests manually, but the colon in the API key keeps throwing me off, I can get a lot of 401 & 403 and I'm unsure how to proceed.

Could you provide an example of how to authenticate and make a request to the API using Python? Specifically:

How should the Authorization header be formatted if the API key contains a colon (:)?
Is there an additional signing process, or should the API key work directly in the Authorization header?

What is the proper endpoint? does it require it's own key in the header?

Any sample Python code for a basic GET /agents request would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help, and I look forward to your guidance.
