I made a bit of progress by simply moving the API key within get\_model() as suggested in [this post](https://discuss.roboflow.com/t/all-models-run-on-your-own-hardware-or-not/8037). However, updating/amending my code snippet to ..

```auto
import inference
model = inference.get_model(model_id="yard-wildlife/1", api_key="my_api_key")
results = model.infer(image="my_test_image")

print(results[0])

```

.. to run inference on a test image unleashes a torrent of dependencies warnings (?) and no apparent inference (on an image that works fine when just using Roboflow browser).

So, one step forward, one step back ..
