We get a non-descriptive 401 error that doesn’t show the exact permission needed

[Jon Caines]

We are using a token generated for a service account to access: developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-space/#api-spaces-get

With permissions assigned, we still receive a 401 and cannot determine which permissions are still missing.

Can you offer any advice.

Hi @Jon Caines 

Welcome to the community.

@Mohamed Benziane is correct, if you use a service account, to use API, you need to use the url mentioned

[Jon Caines]

Many thanks for the welcome @Mohamed Benziane and for the feedback. We are using the one in the documentation https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-space/#api-spaces-get

Hi @Jon Caines 

I see, but the prefix, before using this API endpoint, you need to use the url, mentioned by @Mohamed Benziane 

You can't use https://<instance-name>\...
