Data for SEO API & HTTP request Error

Trying to auth the API from DataforSEO , when running a test in the node I get "Problem in node ‘DataforSEO‘ (what I named the HTTP Request Node) Header name must be a valid HTTP token [“[email protected]”]

The credentials for data for see is my email + the API key - those are correct, tested and retested, the data end point has been double checked as well.

Any solutions for those who use this DFSEO?

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Running n8n via (sheets, Google drive, edit fields, "http request "which is data for seo)

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi Steve,

please use “Basic Auth” as Authorization method in n8n to get data from DataForSEO.

DataForSeo provides the login credentials:

As you use “Header Auth” it is not working.

I have tested this with “basic auth” and I will get the related keywords data from data for seo.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Best
