Can you tell a little more about where this code came from, what language you are using, and how you are running it?
These issues jumped out at me. There may be other issues.
- You are using GET request instead of a POST request.
- You are using an API key, which is not supported for creating fields. You should use a personal access token (or oAuth) instead.

Thank you so much! Yes, my bad, I changed this to a post request, and it works now. I was using a personal access token, but realize the labeling was probably confusing. Will fix.
This code is in python, I'm running it within a script.
