Hello! Thank you for this video! 🌱
I have en error 😦 at the 6:07 step ( send GET request to {{host}}/{{project-key}}/products )
👄This is __text of my error__ at postman response:
{
"statusCode": 403,
"message": "Insufficient scope. One of the following scopes is missing: view_products.",
"errors": [
{
"code": "insufficient_scope",
"message": "Insufficient scope. One of the following scopes is missing: view_products."
}
],
"error": "insufficient_scope",
"error_description": "Insufficient scope. One of the following scopes is missing: view_products."
}
❓What should i do? How to fix it and get the same result as you catch?

[@savannah633]

thanks, i forgot to add permission for " Products ( All ) " when i create api-test

Sounds like you didn't add the correct scope when you created the API key. Go back to the Merchant Center and update the scopes to include the view_products and you should be good to go!
