DiscordAPIError[0]: 401: Unauthorized even though im authorized and the access token is brand new?

I want to get user's @me info with access token, but it says im unauthorized?

    const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');
    const { Routes } = require('discord-api-types/v10');
    const rest = new REST({ version: '10', authPrefix:'Bearer' }).setToken(req.cookies.__access_token__);
    
    const info = await rest.get(Routes.user())

    const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');
    const { Routes } = require('discord-api-types/v10');
    const rest = new REST({ version: '10', authPrefix:'Bearer' }).setToken(req.cookies.__access_token__);
    
    const info = await rest.get(Routes.user())

yeah

jimiwtf•3mo ago

theres no reason for it to throw 401

jimiwtf•3mo ago

i console log it right before running rest

jimiwtf•3mo ago

and it logs a valid token do u know what i could do to fix this yeah now i know what's wrong, the authorization header begins with the bot prefix instead of bearer even tho i set it to bearer 0.4.1 i installed it today? i didnt add any version parameter i just ran npm i @discordjs/rest so i thought its gonna install @latest just updated it to 2.3.0 and it still uses bot instead of bearer
