Hi,

I'm trying to set some dns records, which works well when being asked for my API Token by terraform, but I always get a 401 error when using the HETZNER_DNS_API_TOKEN environment variable.

module.worker.hetznerdns_record.dns-a[2]: Creating...
module.worker.hetznerdns_record.dns-a[0]: Creating...

Error: Error creating DNS record api.os: Error creating Record. HTTP status 401 unhandled

  on dns.tf line 91, in resource "hetznerdns_record" "dns_a_api":
  91: resource "hetznerdns_record" "dns_a_api" {

Error: Error creating DNS record api-int.os: Error creating Record. HTTP status 401 unhandled

  on dns.tf line 101, in resource "hetznerdns_record" "dns_a_api_int":

  on dns.tf line 111, in resource "hetznerdns_record" "dns_a_apps":
 111: resource "hetznerdns_record" "dns_a_apps" {

Any idea why the error occurs? How am I supposed to debug the problem?

Thanks, Tim

Hey @timbrd! Thanks for reporting.

I think that HTTP 401 means there is something wrong with the API token. Probably a copy and paste error? I could only reproduce by using an invalid token (removed the last char of the API token).

However, I agree the error message is not useful. Will change this in the next version.

I added a handler for 401 unauthorized errors. Now, you can see the message from the API why your request was rejected. I hope this helps.

Error: Error getting zone state. Error getting zone example.com: API return 401 Unauthorized with message: 'Invalid authentication credentials'. Double check your API key is still valid
