insufficient_scope

The API key isn't allowed to do this.

On this page

HTTP status: 403 Forbidden. Retrying the same request unchanged fails the same way.

Why it happens

  • Keys carry scopes: read for lookups, payments to create payments, payouts to move money.

What to do

Use a key that has the scope this operation needs.

Example

The response is application/problem+json. Branch on code, never on title or detail. See errors for the format.
