Civitai API key not working

[FastOnFrets]

When I try to download some checkpoints from civitai I have been told to login first. Though API key is setup correctly in settings of the model manager

[hayden-fr]

Have you received a notification like this:

model_name.safetensors needs to be logged in to download. Please set the API-Key first.

The new version needs to be set up in ComfyUI setting, instead of server_settings.yaml.

If you have set it up correctly and still can't download, tell me more.

[FastOnFrets]

I already had done that. And yes: I noticeded that server_settings.yaml has passed away :)
So all is setup correctly . and it doesn't work.
that's what I get in console:
babesBYSTABLEYOGI_ponyV3VAE.safetensors needs to be logged in to download. Please set the API-Key first

Sorry

I had the same issue the other day, took me way too long to realize it was an early access error from Civitai lol.

A LOT of new models go into EA now!

I got the same problem with model not EA, and API above already filled. Any ideas ?

[hayden-fr]

Can you provide the address of the model that needs to be downloaded? I need to test to improve this feature.

Here : https://civitai.com/models/776131/eldritch-woodblock-print-for-flux
also I had to DL manually, how can I DL its infos ? I dont see button for it ?

[hayden-fr]

Can't you download it via model-manager? But I just tried it and it can download normally.

ok this morning :

• delete and create new API civit and set again
• update all in Comfy
• reboot.

Yes! it works again :D
Thx!

Does not work for me either. I know the API key process, as it works for me for other applications. I had to manually put the API key into download.py - that works for now. However this will be gone after the next update. To me it seems like the key entered into the ComfyUI GUI (settings) is not picked up by the model manager.

[hayden-fr]

@onkelstony Check whether ModelManager.APIKey.Civitai in user/default/comfy.settings.json is set correctly. Its should be something like this

{
    "ModelManager.APIKey.Civitai": "f3********07"
}

[onkelstony]

@hayden-fr Yes, the API key is in there. Still it's not picked up.

As long as my workaround is functional, I don't care too much, but I guess other users might have more issues, editing python files manually... and those are not the users who will write on GitHub. ;-)

@onkelstony Your issue is unique and I can't reproduce it. If you have time, can you trace the code and help me figure out where the problem lies？

[onkelstony]

@hayden-fr Unfortunately, xmas time is offline time and it starts for me in a few minutes... but if the issue is stil there in January, I will contact again. Just a hint: I'm on runpod, not on Windows or (local) Linux. Maybe makes a difference because the filesystem on runpod is quite special.
