Hi, I am trying to create a new campaign using API V3. I am using postman for this request. When I send a request to the server it returns an error JSON array. Below is the result of the API with code.

 

Response:

------------------

{
    "error_key""access_denied",
    "error_message"" Request forbidden due to insufficient authorization scopes."
}

 

PHP cURL

-------------------

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.cc.email/v3/emails",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,

excuse me for stating the obvious.  but do you have the required authorizations to create new campaign?

Hi @RicK22,

 

As @raleighb3 mentioned either your Access Token does not have the correct scopes required, or the account does not have the correct permissions to create an email campaign.
