N8n v1.71.1 atop Docker: AirTable nodes can't find Bases list

Hello Friends:

  • n8n v1.71.1 atop Docker (self-hosted)
  • AirTable nodes: search | get | create or update

As Admin, I created and provisioned an AirTable Personal Access Token (PAT) with write permissions on practically every scope available. (It’s just for testing. :blush:).

Pasting that PAT into the AirTable n8n node succeeds in authentication, but when I attempt to select a Base from the drop-down From list selector, the results reads:

  • Could not load list. Please check your credential. (which I mentioned is working and well is provisioned).

The kicker is that this all worked last week. Over this weekend, I updated the n8n Docker image, but didn’t immediately test anything. I started today and ran into the problem above.

I’ve tried:

  1. I regenerating a replacement PAT (also generously write-scoped).

  2. Dragging & dropping a new n8n AirTable node to start from scratch and, while, again the PAT successfully authenticats, the problem above persists.

  3. Finally, I also tried reverting back to Docker image v1.68.1, but with no luck.

Also, I didn’t change anything on the AirTable side (bases, and tables have been untouched).

Any ideas? Thank you in advance! =: )

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:

In item #1 above, by writing “regenerating”, I was being literal: I used a “regenerate” button available in AirTable to regenerate the API Token in-place. Meaning, I did not completely delete (whack) and recreate the API Token.

After a lost day, the thought finally occurred to me that the two methods may not yield equivalent outcomes, so I “whacked” the API Token and created another from scratch.

That finally worked. :expressionless:
