Good day,

Could someone please advise on how I could add / include my API key to the search widget (below)?

Hey @LouisCoetzee, thank for the question. Currently, there are two ways you can use an apiKey with the Search widget.

As of 4.18, you can use a global apiKey with esriConfig, which will work with the Search widget, and any other widget or basemap that requires an apiKey. Example based on your app:

At 4.19, you can also use a finely-grained apiKey on the LocatorSearchSource property of the Search widget. Example based on your app:
