Question
Getting "You are not authorized to perform this operation - HTTP 403"
Hi everybody, I use the API endpoint: https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/customers/my/balance with my api_key, A few days ago this was working. But today, it’s not working and the response is { “id”: “Forbidden”, “message”: “You are not authorized to perform this operation” } My Api key has full access. What is the reason this happens? Thank you for your help!

Heya,
Not sure why this happened however In such cases I’ll recommend to just recreate your API key and see if it works as expected afterwards.
Hey Tuan 👋,
As your API key has full permissions, can you also verify its expiration date? If the API key has expired you will still get 403.
I would recommend regenerating your API key and check if this still occurs.
Let me know how it goes!
