Cannot backup monitors with cli

[NotThatRonnieColeman]

I can get users and backup dashboards without a problem. However, when i try to backup monitors (i'm specifically interested in my Synthetics monitors), i get a 401 with some extra details... see below:

Command issued:
user$ nr backup monitors -d ./backups/

Response:

Start to backup all monitors to './backups/' folder
Response status code: 401. Get one page monitors, pageSize '50', pageOffset '0'
OperationName   StatusCode   Description   Message
Get Monitors    401                        pageSize:50,pageOffset:0

Status code is not 2XX calling NewRelic REST

Failed to backup monitors, exit.

401 means you are not authorized. Please generate a key (not the default account REST API key) and export the key like export NEW_RELIC_APIKEY=acbe9372d4ef4c58b79881633958a596. Then it should work.
