Hi Alex,
all my text has gone. Here it is again:

Describe the problem/error/question

I cannot access to n8n via http- / n8n-node.

curl is working fine

curl -X 'GET' \
  'http://n8n:5678/api/v1/workflows' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'X-N8N-API-KEY: eyJhbG....uvhY'

What is the error message (if any)?

  • http-Node (Header Auth ):
    – Header name must be a valid HTTP token [“mike mike”]
    – Authorization failed - please check your credentials
    { “message”: “‘X-N8N-API-KEY’ header required” }

  • n8n in credentials: Couldn’t connect with these settings - Unauthorized

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

./.

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.81.4
  • Database (default: SQLite): default
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): default
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker
  • Operating system: Debian 12.8

Thank you so much for you patiance

@wupperpi It seems like you didn’t input the authorization parameter. You could fix this by import your curl details just like the picture below:

Hi Alex,
in my case there is no cURL-button (HTTP Request node version 1 (Latest version: 4.2)

http
http699×484 22.3 KB

And Save n8n-credentials is this
n8n-credential-1
n8n-credential-11337×721 30 KB

the browser stucked with old http-node version. Delete browser data helped to get new http version. but the issue still remains. And cURL doesn’t work

7

really sure import cURL works? In my case it does just nothing

same issue to save n8n credentials in pure node.js application.
seems to be something substantial wrong
