KeyError: 'status' when trying to schedule spider

See original GitHub issue

I am getting this error when trying to schedule a spider. This is happening with version 2.3.1

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/molveyra/.local/share/virtualenvs/mollie-AtuAN_AE/lib/python3.8/site-packages/scrapinghub/legacy.py", line 157, in _decode_response
    if data['status'] == 'ok':
KeyError: 'status'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Regardless the response is ‘Authentication credentials were not provided.’, this really happens when the apikey is wrong, so there is a server side issue too.

I believe that’s intentional - our server would react the same if credentials aren’t provided or it’s wrong, was done for security purpose. But I think we could handle it on the client side anyway to improve experience.
