Any ideas

Hey
user M
! If you follow the link in that error it'll show you how to set an API version on your client. That should clear up the error!

I don’t think it has to do with the sanity client, as that’s only a warning.
This is the actual error:

ERROR	TypeError [ERR_INVALID_CHAR]: Invalid character in header content ["authorization"]
I’m seeing this same error on my next.js revalidate webhook endpoint on Vercel. Could it be perhaps that the authentication header of the webhooks have changed on the Sanity end?

I wonder if not more people see their webhooks failing?

Hey, thanks for the replys. Simple mistake. Just had a blank space included at the end of the API token in vercel.
