Can't request group library using Zotero API (forbidden)

[Deniz]

Hi!

I'm working on a project where a public group has been made accessible to me, and yet I get a 403 forbidden when I make GET requests against the group/groupId endpoint. I also am getting empty responses to /user/userId/groups using my userID, and using the group owner's userID as well. The latter might make sense if this request is supposed to be an authenticated one, so I obviously can't look things up as if I'm someone else. I don't understand why I can't see my own groups though, and I should be in at least one that my user has invited me to. 

Any thoughts are welcome.

You would get a 403 if you're not using an API key or if the account
associated with the API key doesn't have access to the resources.

This is a public library though, and I thought that there is no need for auth while reading from public libraries.

If it's a public group, can you share the exact requests that you're sending? Have you tested the equivalent request using curl?

Sure.

This is the URL: https://www.zotero.org/groups/5082220

and I'm doing a requests.get('https://api.zotero.org/groups/5082220/collections/MCFC7G2I/items')

curl also returns a Forbidden. Thanks for the quick replies as well!

That's not a public group.
