URI https://the-one-api.dev/v2/book returning error code 500

I am trying to access the link below and it is returning an "Internal Server Error". I am able to replicate this issue on both Windows machine and Android phone using multiple browsers.

I have the same problem :(

I believe the possible issue is in the backend server.js file:
lotr-api\backend\server.js

Running the project, I am seeing the following error message:
typeerror: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined

This is coming from line 33:
const token = req.header('authorization').split(' ')[1];

It looks like it is getting an undefined from this request and after getting the undefined, the request stops reading. Adding a '?' allows it to continue the check even if it see the undefined.

I believe this is what is causing the "Internal Server Error" that we are seeing.

See below for the '?' edit.
const token = req.header('authorization')?.split(' ')[1];

Hi @guankev & @theJuanon,
thanks for reporting this issue and sharing a possible solution!
This endpoint should be available without any Auth header so this is definitively a bug. In the meantime, try accessing this endpoint with an access key like you would on all the other routes.
Also, you are very welcome to open a pull request for this issue!

Anyway, thank you!

fixed and closed for now.
