Hello, I have followed Aron Korenbilt’s Webflow page rank tutorial 6 times now, and reached out to him via his website, but I have had no luck with getting the export to Webflow to authorize. I have tried Bearer Token, as he uses in the tutorial, I have tried 0-auth, and I have tried password, and I keep getting a 401 error. All the imports are working, from Webflow and Google Analytics, the filter sort is working, everything works until I publish and run it!
Earlier I was getting a 404 error, because Parabola has updated the flows since Aron’s tutorial was created two months ago and it’s already obsolete. The first time I copied it exactly. Three of the four stages require different settings now. I read through all the API docs and found where the differences were, made the changes, and then got 400 error instead. I tracked that down. Aron’s database used {_id} after the collection items, but I saw an answer to another post to the Parabola community that {id} should be used, no _underscore. That didn’t work, but I noticed my database has a capital “I,” which I didn’t try at first because I wasn’t sure if it was case sensitive or not. {Id} worked. It is case sensitive.
Now I get the 401 error, which tells me that the above issues are fixed, at least. That’s when I found that I had to type in “accept-token” because it’s not part of the drop down menu. I found that nugget in the API docs. Earlier I had tried “accept” and “authorize” and even “x-api-key” when I was receiving back 404 errors. Finally I discovered that I had to type it in, and it wasn’t clear that I could, but it finally took my third attempt.
So, Aron asked if I had the proper Collection ID, and I had copied/pasted directly from Postman, and had earlier used the same ID in a Zapier function, so unless Postman is giving me the wrong information, it should be correct. He suggested I ask the community. I then tried the Password Authorization, and that failed. The 0-auth looked daunting, but I gave it a try. I went to the Webflow account and authorize Parabola, got the secret passwords, and put them in the 3 step modal, and it all seemed to work, a pop-up window came up and said it was all authorized, but then I couldn’t close the Parabola modal window without it saying I was going to loose all my changes! When I closed it, all the data I had input into those 3 fields was gone, and I had to start over - 3 times!
That’s were I give up. I need some help. I can not figure this last step out. at. all.
