HTTP module header value always gets wrapped in quotes when using formatDate() output

[LIKE]

What is your goal?

I am creating an HMAC-SHA256 signed authentication request to call the Naver Search Ad API. I need to send the epoch millisecond timestamp value generated by formatDate() in the HTTP module header (X-Timestamp).

What is the problem & what have you tried?

If you place a value created with formatDate(now; “x”) into the Value field of an HTTP module header, that value is passed in the actual request enclosed in double quotes (e.g., “1788779993467” instead of 1788779993467). The target API rejects this as not being a number.

Methods attempted (all reproduced the same symptoms):

• Directly typing formatDate(now; “x”) into the field
• Inserting the same formula using the function picker (not direct typing)
• Wrapping with toString(formatDate(now; “x”))
• Attempting to remove quotes using replace(formatDate(now; “x”); “"”; “”)
• Creating a value in a separate Set variable module and mapping it to the HTTP header as a token
• Directly entering the formula into the header Value field of the HTTP module (without an intermediate module)
• Adding it alongside other fixed values ​​in the same Set multiple variables module

Fixed text values ​​(e.g., hardcoded API keys) are passed normally without quotes, but in formatDate()

What is your goal?

Naver Search Ad API 호출을 위해 HMAC-SHA256 서명 인증 요청을 만들고 있습니다. formatDate()로 만든 epoch millisecond timestamp 값을 HTTP 모듈의 헤더(X-Timestamp)에 담아 전송해야 합니다.

What is the problem & what have you tried?

formatDate(now; “x”)로 만든 값을 HTTP 모듈 헤더의 Value에 넣으면, 실제 전송되는 요청에는 그 값이 큰따옴표로 감싸진 채 전달됩니다 (예: 1788779993467 대신 "1788779993467"). 대상 API는 이걸 숫자가 아니라고 거부합니다.

시도한 방법 (모두 같은 증상 재현됨):

• formatDate(now; “x”)를 필드에 직접 타이핑
• 함수 피커로 동일한 수식 삽입 (직접 타이핑 아님)
• toString(formatDate(now; “x”))로 감싸기
• replace(formatDate(now; “x”); “"”; “”)로 따옴표 제거 시도
• 별도의 Set variable 모듈에서 값을 만들고 토큰으로 HTTP 헤더에 매핑
• HTTP 모듈의 헤더 Value 필드 안에 수식을 직접 입력 (중간 모듈 없이)
• 같은 Set multiple variables 모듈 안에 다른 고정값들과 나란히 추가

고정 텍스트 값(예: 하드코딩한 API 키)은 따옴표 없이 정상 전달되는데, formatDate()에서

Hey there,

your keys are hardcoded inside the scenario. Make sure you rotate them and consider them leaked.

Your functions are wrong with empty spaces and unneeded quotation marks inside and then the headers in the HTTP module are all wrong. Its all just free text and not the actual values coming from the previous modules. Make sure you are selecting them from the menu and not blindly copy pasting them from somewhere.

Also, toggle the map option next to headers and then add the actual headers. The array you are trying to build is also wrong.

I fixed the formulas and the mapping but it says the api key is wrong when I ran it.
