N8N101 Essentials: Credential not working

n8n Academy N8N101: Essentials: Your First Workflows

Hello Community,

The credential specified in the course (N8N101) is not working for me:

N8N101 Essentials: Your First Workflows

  • Step 1.2: Connect to the Sales Data Warehouse
  • Add an HTTP Request node
  • Rename it to GetSalesData
  • Configure it:
  • Method: GET
  • URL: https://learn.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/course/n8n101/sales-data
  • Under Authentication, select Generic Credential Type
  • Choose Header Auth and select your n8n Academy API Key credential
  • Toggle Send Headers to on
  • Add a header:
  • Name: X-Assessment-ID
  • Value: [Your Assessment ID]

Set up exactly as described, but it doesn’t work:
Error code: 403
Full message: 403 - “Authorization data is wrong!”

I also created the “n8n Quickstart Header Auth account” with Name = X-API-KEY and Value.

I’ve already completed the “n8n -QS101” course, and everything always worked there.

Can anyone help?

Best regards, Arndt

No issue.
Remove the square brackets for your assessment id

Thanks for the quick reply.

I didn’t include that one.
