with the Twitter API - how can I get authentication for the engagement endpoint using a bearer token

I'm trying to get engagement data for my company's tweets for a marketing dashboard. I am able to authenticate with Tweepy to get basic Twitter feed data, but the engagement endpoint is giving me trouble. Is it possible that I messing things up by autheticating with Tweepy and then with the bearer token?

import tweepy
import requests
import json
import base64
import urllib.parse

consumer_key = <>
consumer_secret = <>
access_token = <>
access_token_secret = <>


auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)

api = tweepy.API(auth)

print(api.me().name)


def get_tweet_ids():
    scandy_tweets = api.user_timeline('TwitterHandle', count=5)
    tweet_id_list = []
    for twit in scandy_tweets:
        json_str = json.loads(json.dumps(twit._json))
        tweet_id_list.append(json_str['id'])
    return tweet_id_list


def get_bearer_token():
    uri_token_endpoint = 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token'
    key_secret = f"{consumer_key}:{consumer_secret}".encode('ascii')
    b64_encoded_key = base64.b64encode(key_secret)
    b64_encoded_key = b64_encoded_key.decode('ascii')

    auth_headers = {
        'Authorization': 'Basic {}'.format(b64_encoded_key),
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8'
        }

    auth_data = {
        'grant_type': 'client_credentials'
        }

    auth_resp = requests.post(uri_token_endpoint, headers=auth_headers, data=auth_data)
    print(auth_resp.status_code)
    bearer_token = auth_resp.json()['access_token']
    return bearer_token



bearer_token = get_bearer_token()

bearer_header = {
    'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer {}'.format(bearer_token),
    'oauth_consumer_key': consumer_key 
}

recent_tweets = get_tweet_ids()

engage_data = {
    'tweet_id_list': recent_tweets,
    'engagement_types': ['impressions', 'engagements', 'favorites'],
    'groupings':  {'grouping name': {'group_by': ['tweet.id', 'engagement.type']}}
}

uri_28hr_endpoint = 'https://data-api.twitter.com/insights/engagement/28hr'
engagement_resp = requests.post(uri_28hr_endpoint, headers=bearer_header, data=engage_data)


print(engagement_resp.status_code)
print(engagement_resp.json())

When I call print(engagement_resp.json()) I get the following output:

403 {'errors': ['Your Application ID is not authorized.']}

The answer is in Andy Piper's comment. At the top of this page on Twitter's Developer site it says:

This is an enterprise API available within our managed access levels only. To use this API, you must first set up an account with our enterprise sales team

On this page that describes the different levels of API access you can find out what's possible in the Standard (free), Premium, and Enterprise API tiers.
