Looks like you didn't set the environment variable with the api key that you're trying to use with:

$apiKey = getenv(...);

Please check documentation here as it looks like you're using the example code.

Just for a test you can use:

$apiKey = 'add here your api key';

replacing the usage of getenv. It should work. Then you can set the api key in a config file or as env variable (depending on your application) in order to not hardcode it into the script.
