### Are you using our SaaS platform ([Baserow.io](http://Baserow.io)) or self-hosting Baserow?
SaaS
### What are the exact steps to reproduce this issue?
1. Configure the http node to get a field
URL: [https://api.baserow.io/api/database/fields/4128607/](https://api.baserow.io/api/database/fields/4128607/)
Value: Token mydatabasetoken
The token has been configured to have full access. I’m at a loss and have exhausted all AI troubleshooting.
### Attach screenshots, videos, or logs that demonstrate the issue.

Hi,
Your setup seems correct at first sight. The HTTP node should look like this:
where the Header Auth account has the following information
Name: Authorization
Value: Token \
The only common mistake I can think of is that the Value is not preceded with the word `Token ` (make sure the space is also there).
If the problem still persists, I would recommend using a tool like postman to make the HTTP request to check if it is a problem specific to n8n or a problem with the request.

There is a space between Token and the generated baserow token.
This seems to be an issue with the request and not an N8N.
When I tested on Webhook.site, as well as running a CURL test and I get the same results: “Authentication credentials were not provided.” I can clearly see them in this screenshot.

So this http requests makes a call to webhook.site. But where do you make a call to the baserow API?

Sorry about that. That was from one of the troubleshooting steps and I missed that detail. Here’s a screenshot from Postman testing the proper Baserow URL showing the 401 and this JSON:
{
“detail”: “Authentication credentials were not provided.”
}

Now that I see the url of the endpoint, I think the problem might be in that URL.
The endpoint [https://api.baserow.io/api/database/fields/{field\_id}/](https://api.baserow.io/api/redoc/#tag/Database-table-fields/operation/get_database_table_field) gets all the information for a single field. This is an action that requires a JWT token instead of a database token.
If you need all the fields for a table, you can use the endpoint [https://api.baserow.io/api/fields/table/{table\_id}](https://api.baserow.io/api/redoc/#tag/Database-table-fields/operation/list_database_table_fields)
If you need more information about working with JWT tokens, you can check this article on our blog: [How to authenticate to Baserow using web tokens](https://baserow.io/blog/authenticate-baserow-using-database-json-web-token)

Thank you. That took care of the issue.
