bad_token (401) from Real-Debrid API despite valid token (curl works, same host)

[sneaks]

My zurg-testing:latest (v0.9.3-final) container gets bad_token (401) from the Real-Debrid API. The same token works when I call the API directly from the same host.
Verification (from the same machine that runs Zurg):
curl -X GET "https://api.real-debrid.com/rest/1.0/user" -H "Authorization: Bearer MY_TOKEN"
Returns 200 and correct user JSON.

Config (config.yml):

zurg: v1
token: MY_TOKEN

Error in Zurg logs:
ERROR realdebrid Error when executing the get torrents request: api response error: bad_token (status code: 401) (code: 8)

Also see the same for the user info request on startup.
Setup:

• Image: ghcr.io/debridmediamanager/zurg-testing:latest
• Volumes: ./config.yml:/zurg/config.yml, ./zurgdata:/zurg/data
• Tried: fresh run, cleared zurgdata, re-pulled image — issue persists.
• Config is read (logs show "Loading config file ./config.yml", "Config version: v1").

So the token is valid and works with Authorization: Bearer from this host; Zurg still gets 401. Is the token sent to Real-Debrid exactly as Authorization: Bearer <token>, or could there be a known issue with token handling in v0.9.3?

docker-compose (Zurg + rclone + Jellyfin):

  zurg:
    image: ghcr.io/debridmediamanager/zurg-testing:latest
    container_name: zurg
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "9999:9999"
    volumes:

      - ./config.yml:/zurg/config.yml

  rclone:
    image: rclone/rclone:latest
    container_name: rclone
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - zurg
    devices:

      - ./rclone.conf:/config/rclone/rclone.conf
    command: "mount zurg: /data --allow-other --vfs-cache-mode full"

  jellyfin:

ive been having this same issue last night and today Authorization: Bearer show my debrid infromation but still getting bad api error

[yowmamasita]

that's a realdebrid issue. try regenerating your token

[IcyFrant]

that's a realdebrid issue. try regenerating your token

I've tried 5 different tokens but ill just keep that stack off for a few days see if realdebrid sorts its self out

[sneaks]

Same here. I have tried new tokens i have tried the members only. real debrid is working for anything else I try. KODI, curl tests...

[yowmamasita]

ok let me check then

[yowmamasita]

any chance i can get a log dump here?

and curl

curl -X GET "https://api.real-debrid.com/rest/1.0/user"      -H "Authorization: Bearer {TOKEN}"

[bitwizerr]

Same issue. Very simple config.yaml with version and token.

Making a curl request to RD with the same token works fine.

[sneaks]

Double check your mount paths in your docker-compose.yml that was my issue:
- ./zurgdata:/app/data
- ./config.yml:/app/config.yml

[JedBorseth]

I had the same issue. What fixed it for me was opening a shell into the container and manualy editing the config at /app/config.yml
