API Access for Reporting purposes

[Naomy Cana]

A CM360 user is looking to access our API to get reporting metrics - he currently has full access to the account but is unable to get an API key/link.

What are the steps required in order to do the above?

Thanks,

Naomy

More information on the issue:

When I call the API the response is:

{
  "error": {
    "code": 403,
    "message": "The caller does not have permission",
    "errors": [
      {
        "message": "The caller does not have permission",
        "domain": "global",
        "reason": "forbidden"
      }
    ],
    "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"
  }
}

I see the same problem both when using the API explorer or a python library.

I am being prompted to grant access to my CM360 account when making the API call by an oauth2 flow (as expected) and I am allowing the access.

From my python code I can see the access token generated, but I am unclear whether there is a problem with the access token or whether my CM360 user does not have the necessary permissions to complete the API call.

The API call I am testing with is campaigns list.

Hello Ian,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I can see that you are encountering PERMISSION_DENIED on your end. This usually means a lack of permission for the user profile used in the request call. However, for us to further investigate, can you provide to us the below information?

• DCM Account ID
• Profile ID used in request call
• Request body & URL with path param values
• Complete API Response of the above request

You may provide the requested details privately via "Reply To Author" option.

As a side note, it seems that you have chimed in on this forum thread. If your concern is not related to the original posted issue, we suggest that you create a new thread for better tracking of issues.
