Critical Change: API Key Transmission Method Updated

API key transmission has been updated for improved security and compatibility.
Previously, the API key was sent as a URL query parameter (e.g., ?key=YOUR_API_KEY).
Now, all functions send the API key using the HTTP header x-goog-api-key, following Google Gemini API best practices.

This change enhances both security and future compatibility.
Users can continue to set their API key using setAPI("YOUR_API_KEY"). There is no change to the user-facing function interfaces.
The old method of passing the API key as a URL parameter is no longer supported.
