Node error: dial tcp [xx.xx.xx.xx]: i/o timeout

Questions & How-to

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Make for a while, however, I’m giving Latenode a try since its features seem to align better with what I need.

To start my comparison, I’m trying to set up an HTTP request node with basic authorization. Unfortunately, I’m running into this error I can’t figure out, and I haven’t been able to find any information on it.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any tips on what might be going wrong?

{
“ntlm_auth_username”: “”,
“hide_all”: “{{true}}”,
“digest_auth_username”: “”,
“digest_auth_password”: “”,
“ntlm_auth_password”: “”,
“http_proxy_login”: “”,
“variables”: {
“true”: “true”
},
“url”: “[url]”,
“ntlm_auth_domain”: “”,
“http_proxy_password”: “”,
“post_params_urlencoded”: {},
“method”: “POST”,
“post_params”: {},
“headers”: {
“Content-Type”: “application/json”,
“accept”: “application/json”
},
“basic_auth_username”: “jordy@…”,
“basic_auth_password”: “XXXX”,
“http_proxy_address”: “”,
“body”: “{\n "User": "jordy@…",\n "password": "XXXX"\n}'”
}

Thanks in advance!

Hi! There could be many reasons for this issue, ranging from input errors to server restrictions, especially when dealing with a timeout. Could you provide more details about the service you’re trying to connect to? This will help us understand the potential causes.

Hi! Thanks for your response.

This is an API service we use to log in with a supplier to obtain a Bearer token. Once authenticated, this token allows us to call other services, like ‘GET stocklist’ or ‘PUT order.’
In Make, this node is working actively with the same input, so the setup there functions without issues.
It seems like there’s no connection to the server at all from within Latenode, which is quite puzzling.
Does this give you a better picture?

Is the API you are connecting to public or private enterprise? If it is private, there could be firewall rules that were implemented for the connection in make that do not exist for Latenode. Unfortunately there’s many possibilities though since this is a generic error essentially saying it cannot connect. To test, you could try connecting via postman or insomnia from another machine on a different network.
