Describe the problem/error/question
First, I’m trying to connect to TikTok and have n8n upload videos for me. Because of review restrictions on TikTok’s side, early testing needs to be done on the sandbox. I’ve already set that up, and using that information I successfully connected the TikTok account in n8n’s Credentials page. But when I create an HTTP node to test, it says: “Unable to sign without access token.”
I tried using GPT and n8n’s built-in AI to help me solve it, but it didn’t help—I’ve wasted nearly 10 hours and still haven’t fixed the issue. At one point, I had GPT help me manually obtain an access token and then connect; that worked once, but only for that single node. To achieve what I need, I have to use three HTTP nodes, and the token expires in just a few minutes. If I have to manually fetch it every time, there’s simply not enough time—and even if there were, that wouldn’t be automation. I’m honestly going crazy from this. Is there anyone experienced who can help me solve this?
What is the error message (if any)?
“Unable to sign without access token”
