Why Google APIs Explorer ( Google Partners API) returns 403 PERMISSION_DENIED?

Question

I search for a similar question but found some outdated and unanswered ones.

So basically I am just trying to play around with Google Partners API and pull some data for now using Google's API Explorer, so:

I create a brand new project in Google Cloud Platform
Go To API and Enable Google Partners API the right there and then click on Try it in Google API Explorer.
But the problem I get the 403 error on any request I tried to make.

In the API Explorer docs https://developers.google.com/explorer-help/ it says I do not need to provide an API key since they use their own.

My understanding is that I should be able to pull the data - but for some reason no matter what I try, I still get this 403.

Note: like I mentioned I am at least trying to make it work within their API explorer.

What am I missing there?

 {
 "error": {
  "code": 403,
  "message": "The caller does not have permission",
  "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"
 }
}

Update:

So it appears that you do have to have a permission to call their API. I do have an API key - but it still says I need a permission. I am the primary user of the account so I have no limitations that I could think of on the account.

I will keep digging and see what I find out.

Analyzing their Google Partner Interface web requests, you can see the &key=AIzaSyCi4oosxbZoHR65JXdMVy7eVR......

So logically, this caller, which is identified by this API can make calls. So I went to Google API Explorer and plugged their API key and made a request - and surely got the 200 response back. I put my API key back in there to test with the same set up - PERMISSION_DENIED.

Will continue researching though there is not much left to read. Hope my Google bros will help me out here and let me know how to get the permission.
