I am trying to make a call to get attendee information and I am getting a 403 error for the following URL:

I know my API key works, as I can pull a number of pther endpoints.

I even tried it through the API documentation site and got the same result.

HELP needed, as this is holding up a reporting system for an upcoming event

Hi Bob!

Attendee objects are considered private; meaning that your API Key/authentication needs to be authorized to access the Attendee information. A 403 error indicates the API Key/authentication has not been authorized to perform the requested action.

If you are making this API request on your own behalf, you can authenticate the request with your private token. On the other hand, if you are making this API request on behalf of another user, you will need to first authorize the user

I hope this is helpful!

Best,
Natalie

Thanks for the feedback.

I am using the same OAuth token for the Order endpoint, and it works fine.  I only get the 403 on attendee and on reports.  I am using the API token from the developer options, and verifying that it works with the user endpoint - https://snipboard.io/cUvOfK.jpg

Where should I start troubleshooting from here?
