[source-typeform] Connector Authentication Issue #56958

@lucieackley22

Description

@lucieackley22

Connector Name

Typeform

Connector Version

1.4.1

What step the error happened?

Configuring a new connector

Relevant information

Typeform connector will not authenticate

What I Tried
Generated a new Personal Access Token in Typeform with the following scopes:

forms:read

responses:read

Confirmed the token works by testing this curl command:

bash
Copy
Edit
curl https://api.typeform.com/forms
-H "Authorization: Bearer <my_token>"
✅ This returns the expected JSON response, confirming the token is valid.

In Airbyte, I:

Selected "Typeform" source

Used “Private Token” as the auth method

Pasted the token (without "Bearer") in the token field

Also tried with "Bearer " prepended manually

Tried adding a start date (e.g., 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z)

Still received HTTP 401 Unauthorized

🔍 Suspected Cause
The Airbyte connector may not be prepending Bearer to the Authorization header when using the "Private Token" method — even though Typeform’s API requires it. Since the same token works via curl, it’s likely the header is malformed by the connector.

✅ Steps to Reproduce
Create a valid PAT in Typeform

Set up Typeform source in Airbyte using that token

Test connection → Fails with 401

Token works outside Airbyte

Relevant log output

It seems you're not authorized. Please try logging in again. (HTTP 401)
