Hi n8n team,
I am encountering an issue while completing the n8n Level 1 course, specifically in the “Getting data from the data warehouse” section (Chapter 5.1).
When I try to create the workflow, I receive the following error:
error: Please provide the correct Unique ID.
I am using the Unique ID provided in the welcome email: 23673fc63f229ab0d7722da75bacdc81.
Could you please help me figure out what might be causing this error so I can continue with the course?
Thank you

There is Dot at the end of your Unique_id. is it only in your post or you actually paste it in your http node.
Its just on the post, i used the exact same credentials given by the n8n team through the email, without the Dot.

I test the workflow right now, and it worked on n8n cloud
and i only get your error if i send a wrong unique_id,
[
{
"error":
"Please provide the correct Unique ID."
}
]
so double check that you have a correct unique_id and Header Auth name and Header Auth value
if all of those are correct, i have no idea!
I have entered the credentials and the given data properly as mentioned in the Document of the course 1 , and still getting the same error.
i also experienced this same issues, but everything later worked fine on its own without me doing anything. i hope you figure ts out

I remember I had this issue, too.
This worked for me:
Change “Specify Headers“ from “Using Fields Below“ to “Using JSON“ and provide your unique ID in JSON format:
{
“unique_id“:”23673fc63f229ab0d7722da75bacdc81”
}
Execute step and you should receive data. After that you can switch back to “Using Fields Below“.
EDIT: make sure to use correct quotes in your JSON; if you copy and paste them from this post, you may get the wrong ones.
