I try to read data from google sheet via http. I use v4 google spreadsheet api:
https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/1MZJEOzkzy5iJ9HPy2GU-Ky3vdaIzGGDQH8BMt4n3OGI/values/Sheet1!A1:D5
I get:
{
"error": {
"code": 403,
"message": "The request cannot be identified with a client project. Please pass a valid API key with the request.",
"status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"
}
}
Sheet is published online and everyone can edit it. It works on api v3 too.
First, make sure you have a permission to call this spreadsheet and you enable the Sheets API in your developer console. You can also try to change the privacy settings of this spreadsheet to public and checked if you can access it now. This 403 error is usually caused by incorrect or missed some configuration in Authorizing Requests. If you authorizing requests with OAuth 2.0, make sure you use the proper scope with it.
For more information, you can check this thread on how to debug your Google OAuth 2.0 token when you get HTTP 401s or 403s
You have to append the string "key=yourAPIkey" as query on your URI. The API key is generated in the developer's console
If you update application access scope you have to re-authenticate the application and update credentials.json.
In google-sheet quick start guide, they have started the tutorial with only read scope. If you want to write or update google-sheet later you will have to change the scope there and update the credentials.json again
Look carefully when you first authenticate it only giving permission to read. But if update scope and try to re-authenticate it will ask for permission to read and manage sheet permission.
In order to update the scopes, you need to remove the token file saved in TOKENS_DIRECTORY_PATH, execute the code again and log in. Then Oauth2 will give you the new updated tokens.

I am currently trying to create an ad account using fb's api. After checking out their documentation I ended up with this source. Here it states that we can make a call to
/{business_id}/adaccount given the appropriate body to create an ad account, and therefore I went to give it a try.
On my test, I tried sending a POST request to that endpoint:
POST {FB_API_PATH}/{business_id}/adaccount?access_token={FB_ACCESS_TOKEN}
BODY
{
"name": "Test",
"currency": "USD",
"timezone_id": 1,
"end_advertiser": "{FB_APP_ID}",
"media_agency": "{FB_AGENCY_ID}",
"partner": "NONE",
"funding_id": "{FB_FUNDING_ID}"
}
but ended up getting:
Unsupported post request. Object with ID '{business_id}' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api.
This is not because I'm using an incorrect {business_id}, all of my other test calls that are using the same {business_id} are working perfectly.
It seems to me that for some reason, I cannot make a call to /adaccount. I went to check the facebook graph explorer and wasn't able to get the autocomplete trigger for that endpoint when inputing the {business_id}.
Am I doing something wrong, or was this endpoint never working and I need to keep doing it manually?
You need to have Advanced Access to business_management permission.
You can submit app review for advanced access, if it approved, you can call /bm-id/adaccount to create ad account with required parameter.
Also, you can't create an ad account on a real FB user. It works with test users well, but you need special permissions from FB to do this on a real user's account.
I want to use User Profile API from Facebook to get customer user data (first name, last name, picture). My app is reviewed, my app is connected to fanpage, i have pages_messaging and other permissions active. Webhooks are working correct, i receive messages from user and i can respond to them, yet when i use PSID from webhook and use it on this endpointhttps://graph.facebook.com/v9.0/{PSID} i get this error:
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request. Object with ID 'XXXXX' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100,
"error_subcode": 33}
Am I missing some permissions? Bad app/page configuration? I've been trying to find something in documentation but right now i'm defeated by it.
I solved the problem with getting additional permission Business Asset User Profile Access (api 8.0+).
I had the same issue, one probable reason is that you need to pass the account ID with 'act_' at the beginning of it so it becomes 'act_XXXXX'.
I was having the same issue, the main reason is that you need to pass the account ID starting with
'act_'
at the beginning
of it so it becomes
'act_XXXXX'
This resolved my issue. Hope so resolves everyone's who is coming to find solution for it.
Looks like you cannot make this request on behalf of Test User. If it is your case, try to make a call from Tester's Role user account instead.
For real life application you need Business Asset User Profile Access
There can be multiple reasons to it, you need to check the status of your account by visiting the Alerts Page on this url: https://developers.facebook.com/apps/<APP_ID>/alerts/inbox/?business_id=<BUSINESS_ID>
This alert page would show you the issue/permissions denied, for example:
I got 401 unauthorized when trying to export a report from Power BI online by using the Power BI REST API.
My access token works fine with other API methods. I am also setting full API access in App registrations.
When I logged in by using the same account and use 'try', the access token provided in this test actually works.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/exportreport
Has anyone successfully used this method?
You will need to create an Authentication app and provide the right privileges corresponding to the REST API you are loading from. For this particular API Microsoft suggests to provide Report.Read.All or Report.ReadWrite.All privileges.
You can achieve this directly by creating an authentication application from https://dev.powerbi.com/apps.
You will also need to make sure you grant the admin consent once your app is up and running.
Also, make sure the request you are creating is in the right format. If you match your request with the one specified here : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/export report and test to check if it working with your parameters and login, you should be able to make it work with your code. Also test it with Postman to make sure you are entering the right configuration in the request and you know what you are requesting.
Once you have all this in place, you should not have any issues accessing the right data.
I want to create a command line tool to download and upload files to my Google Drive. I do not want to use any language that Google already provides api calls (Java, php, javascript, C#, etc..).
I will use Haskell but that is not relevant with the question.
What I want to do now is form a POST request to upload a file. My request now is something like this:
POST /upload/drive/v2/files?uploadType=media HTTP/1.1
Host: www.googleapis.com
Content-Type: */*
Content-Length: 5
Authorization: Bearer AIzaSy......jH683-FRO9GI
Cache-Control: no-cache
test1
and I get this response:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "authError",
"message": "Invalid Credentials",
"locationType": "header",
"location": "Authorization"
}
],
"code": 401,
"message": "Invalid Credentials"
}
}
Next to Authorization: I put the API Key I created from Google Developer's console.
I figured I have to do more than one requests to make this work. First I have to get an auth code, then use that code to get an auth token and then use that token to my post request.
How can I make that happen? Can someone give me a short example?
There are several possible issues:
#1
You shouldn't be sending the API key with your requests.
#2
Your key might have expired. They only last for 60 minutes.
#3
Your access might have been revoked. (But in your case, if you are able to get an access token, then this is not the case)
#4
You did not include an access token in your request.
I think your problem is a result of #1 or #4, but I listed the other possibilities for reference.
Edit #1:
To address the comment, I will explain the process Google uses to authenticate requests. This question addresses some of the process but I am going to rewrite some of it in the context of this question. (The linked question was asked by me and then later answered by me)
There are two main items you need to make a request to a Google API:
refresh_token - Used to get more access_tokens and never expires
access_token - Used to send API calls (example: upload a file) and expires every 60 minutes.
In order to get either of these you have to follow certain steps.
Obtain a OAuth 2.0 client ID through the Google Developers Console
Obtain an access token from the Google Authorization Server
Send the access token to an API
Refresh the access token, if necessary
More specific information about this "general" process can be found here.
The tricky step is getting the refresh token because once you have that stored in a secure location, you can do anything with simple httpRequests.
To get a refresh token, a user has to agree to give your project access to certain features. This is called scopes in Google language. You can do this in many different ways (according to Google):
There are several ways to make this request, and they vary based on
the type of application you are building. For example, a JavaScript
application might request an access token using a browser redirect to
Google, while an application installed on a device that has no browser
uses web service requests.
The one thing they don't tell you is that, in your case, it doesn't matter what medium you use to get the refresh_token because you are only using one account. The Google Drive API isn't really designed to be used like a server. It is designed to be used by a developer that wants to store information on each of its user's accounts. Like if you had a picture app, you could have a feature that stores edited picture on someone's personal Google Drive account.
What you (and many others who have recently asked about) want to do is essentially use a Drive account as a server. That means that the medium through which you get your refresh_token does not have to be related to the medium in which you are using the Drive Account.
For example in my specific case, I wanted a way to store user pictures on a server for free for an android app. I am using this free service called Parse to act as my database server, but they give you very limited file storage in their free tier.
Because of this, I decided to try and figure out how to use Google drive accounts to expand my storage. I created a generic gmail account something like "hostingaccount#gmail.com" to be the host of the files (15g for free).
To get my refresh_token, I setup a php server to authenticate that one account. When someone goes to the page I setup, they are prompted to login and then grant access to my project to use their Google Drive account (Specific scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive). I then setup the script to print the refresh_token for that account on the screen. I copied that string an put it into my server when now I can easily send httpRequests to:
https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token/ to get an access token and to:
https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v2/files to upload files.
I link it at the top of this edit, but this answer shows you how to get a refresh token using my php method. I never spent the time to try an figure out how to get a refresh token any other way, but if you read my whole long answer I think I mention that I believe that this can also be done with the Android Google Drive API.
I have tried to help so many people with this problem, maybe I should just start a blog and make a tutorial about it ;)
need help.
I tried to start with https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/dynamic-product-ads/ads-management/v2.3
created account. Approved it by phone.
created a business account, an ad account, an app, and so on.
linked app to ad accont like this https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/access#standard_accounts.
Now i tried to create product catalog. i am getting same error all the time:
The app is not whitelisted to use this API
i tried to call api to cteate/list/managment product catalog.
when i did, the same by UI - i can create product catalog & feed.
but by API - all time error.
i do not understand what it need?
now try to create product set:
GET /<product_catalog ID>/product_sets/?
access_token=<my access token from app with full rights get from exploer>
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) The app is not whitelisted to use this API",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200
}
}
try to create the same:
POST : /v2.3/<product_catalog ID>/product_sets/?access_token=<my access token from app with full rights get from exploer>&name=my new prod set
{
"error": {
"message": "(#275) Ad account cannot be determined for this request",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 275
}
}
So what Are the changes i needed to make it work?
is it any way to made api calls work correctly?
p.s.
i guess something wrong in settings - i run unit tests in SDK - have the same situation. i have read about that problems with game app - but my app - is not a game, so i cant use solution in my situation.
if some body understand what whitelist API want - please help!
Thanks.
Hopefully this helps someone else: I was also trying to create a Product Catalog via the API in Development, and got "The app is not whitelisted to use this API".
I solved it by creating an admin system user, and generating an access token with the business_management permission.
The error is explained by the documentation you linked to - unless your app is approved for Standard access to the API it can only access a specific number of ad accounts and those accounts need to be pre-configured in the app settings
Many of the business manager APIs can't be used because they're not tied to one of those pre-specified accounts (hence the Ad account cannot be determined for this request error).
In general, the business manager APIs likely won't work for you until your app has access at the standard level, though some will if they're account-specific
You can't be an app admin and a tester/developer at the same time. You should create another facebook account for tests.
This happens also when the access token used is not from your app which has Standard Access. Also, note the dev version of the same app will not work.
