GetFlightInfo failed: Invalid or expired token

Why eddytor query fails with this error - and the two fixes.

eddytor query failing with:

GetFlightInfo failed: Invalid or expired token

…almost always has one of two causes. eddytor query uses Flight SQL on a separate endpoint and a separate credential expectation from the REST API.

Cause 1 - the Flight URL isn't set (or is wrong)

eddytor query talks Flight SQL on the server's Flight proxy (port 8082), not the REST port. Setting only api_url leaves query pointing at the default, so your credential is rejected. Set both:

eddytor config set-api-url    http://localhost:8080
eddytor config set-flight-url http://localhost:8082
eddytor doctor                # verifies the Flight endpoint specifically

On Kubernetes the Flight port stays ClusterIP - port-forward it: kubectl -n eddytor port-forward svc/eddytor-server 8082:8082.

Cause 2 - using a login token instead of an API key

The device-login token (eddytor login) lasts ~15 minutes and query won't refresh it. The bootstrap API key doesn't expire. For query (and any long-running job), use an API key:

docker compose exec eddytor-server eddytoradm create-api-key --email you@example.com
eddytor config set-key edd_live_…

Good to know

Same root cause over ADBC / Flight SQL drivers: an expired access token fails the handshake. Use an API key, or re-authenticate. See Flight SQL.

Quick checklist

  • eddytor config show - is flight_url set and reachable?
  • Using an API key, not a 15-min login token?
  • eddytor doctor passes its Flight check?
