Term confusion ApiKey / NOVU_SECRET_KEY

[paul-github-1]

This happens a lot throughout the docs, but let me point out just this case:

Page: https://docs.novu.co/api-reference/overview

Authentication Header

`--header 'Authorization: ApiKey <NOVU_SECRET_KEY>'``

Description says "Authentication for the Novu API involves the use of an API Key, which is a secure credential that is tied to your Novu account."

For someone coming to novu for the first time, this needs clarity:

• Production Api Key from the dashboard?
• Developement Api Key from the dashboard?
• VM: Novu/Docker/Community/.env "NOVU_SECRET_KEY" ?

These keys have entirely different scopes and it takes a long time to get a grip of what you're actually referring to. This confusion makes integrating with novu a longer process than it should be. Bigger learning curve just to get things working.

In this specific case: the intention is to use the api key from the dashboard: production or development environment.

Thanks to everyone's contributions. 🙏
