Cannot change the chosen model from text-davinci to gpt-3.5

Fellows,

I’m writing an app and want to use the gpt-3.5 model instead of the text-davinci since I want to build a kind of chatbot. Theoretically, I should just change the variable model in the following JS code:

let maxTokens = 256;
let model = 'text-davinci-003';
//let model = 'gpt-3.5-turbo-0301';

async generateText(prompt)
  try {
    const response = await this.openai.createCompletion({
      model: model,
      prompt: prompt,
      max_tokens: maxTokens
    });
    return response.data.choices[0].text;
  } catch (error) {
    return '';
  }
}

However, when I change its value, I get the following error:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "You didn’t provide an API key. You need to provide your API key in an Authorization header using Bearer auth (i.e. Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY), or as the password field (with blank username) if you’re accessing the API from your browser and are prompted for a username and password. You can obtain an API key from OpenAI API",
        "type": "invalid_request_error",
        "param": null,
        "code": null
    }
}

It makes no sense since the davinci option is working. I even created a new key and the error is exactly the same. Any idea what am I doing wrong? Thanks.
