Xano Authorization Bug - Working in Xano

Archived from the Bravo community forum (2021–2026). Some answers may refer to older versions of Bravo.

I am trying to grab details from a table in Xano that I have set to require authentication. 

When testing the endpoint in Xano, including the authtoken works appropriately and returns the output. 

Issue: 
When adding any GET request that required authorization header, I receive the following note: 

"Request was successfull but no data was sent back in the response, this behaviour is set by the backend you are using."

API collection auth type is Bearer

I have followed multiple videos keystroke by keystroke and I continue to receive this message.

Xano return for proof an output is there:

Since you didn't mention it, I just want to make sure you stored the authentication token from the login results into your variable named authtoken. I am using Xano it works for me.

Yes, the variable is set, but also with auth token saved in the test values it was rendering the same message. 

I've seen several others post about this in recent days.

Spencer, try generating a new AuthToken (go into your Xano 'login' API) and use that in your Bravo Studio's 'Log In' API request. This often happens to me when the AuthToken has expired.

If that doesn't work, then a weird thing that's worked for me is skipping the values in the 'Headers' tab, and instead using '_authorization' along with the auth token as the value in the 'Test Values' tab

Hope this works bro!
