Hello! Please could help me to understand why give me this error? i give the same Authentication for creatomate render and download vide (scarica video)…. please my brain is done and i dont’ found a solution for this. tell me if i need to change node after permission drive or i need to change something
Hi @Yassine1
Looking at this screenshot, it seems you’re using the same credentials for Creatomate but with a different link,
I suggest trying two things:
1- Use that direct link without authentication or:
2- Since I’ve worked with credentials before, the link would look like this:
https://api.creatomate.com/v1/renders/{{ $('Creatomate Init').item.json.id}}
im sorry but i try and don’t work. you think i need to use Polling?
Can you be more specific about which approach is not working?
Yes, if I remember correctly, btw the wait time is very short..
So you should first call this with the template:
https://api.creatomate.com/v1/renders
then:
https://api.creatomate.com/v1/renders/{{ $('Creatomate Init').item.json.id}}
The result will be the link shown in your screenshot, and you can call it without authentication..
You probably also need to set up the response like this:
You’re close but this part is incorrect, this should be the ID:
The correct URL:
https://api.creatomate.com/v1/renders/{{ $('Creatomate Init').item.json.id}}
This is used to check the status and returns the final downloadable URL, which you’re using in your first screenshot:

This is the correct one but use it without authentication, simple get request..
i really apreciated your help and sorry if im noob with this
give me this error if i put this url on node download video
It’s okay, no problem,
Can you just run your workflow that gave you the error you mentioned here:
but remove the authentication and add the response format..

My bad, I just copied mine ![]()
Replace it please with your actual node name..
if you want, you can attach your workflow or the last few nodes, that would help.
how i can attach my workflow?
first is node “Creator Render” - Node Wait - Node Scarica Video
Thanks, try this please:
