My Token is less than 40 characters and causing me errors

Beginners
1

I am generating API tokens, but they are only 34 characters long after hf_ instead of 40. Example: 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. This causes a 401 Unauthorized error in the API. Can you verify or regenerate a valid token? Thank you very much.

Merci cordialement

I’ve never seen tokens of anything other than the typical length, but the token length seems to be variable.

Anyway, you can check the token status using the following methods, so try one of them.

from huggingface_hub import HfApi
api = HfApi()
me = api.whoami(token="hf_xxx")   # raises on invalid tokens
print(me)

Or

# prints 200 if valid, 401 if not
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" https://huggingface.co/api/whoami-v2 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HF_TOKEN"
