Problem in node ‘Generate Video (Seedance)‘ Authorization failed - please check your credentials

I keep havimg this error occur for every workflow that I use the header auth node. It’s only with this particular node. I notice also that whenever I save my credentials and exit out then immediately come back its way more dots in the api key spot almost like it’s changing by itself as soon as I exit the node to test it. Ofcourse I can’t see if it is because it doesn’t show what is actually in the field all it shows is dots.

Describe the problem/error/question

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(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.)

Hey, @Lloyd7767 I think I know what might be going on with your Header Auth node issue. So, I’ve seen this happen before where the API key seems to change by itself and shows dots instead of the actual key. One thing you can try is re-entering the API key manually instead of copying and pasting it. Sometimes, the formatting can get messed up when you copy and paste.

Also, double-check that you’ve selected the correct credential type for the node. If the credential type is wrong, it might not store the API key correctly.

If that doesn’t work, try testing the API key with a different node, like the HTTP Request node, to see if the issue is specific to the Header Auth node.

Let me know if any of these suggestions help!
