The Method: purchases.products.get operates on private user data. Due to that fact you used Oauth2 to authorize a user and get an access token.

this method requires that the user to consent to the following scope

enter image description here

The error message The current user has insufficient permissions to perform the requested operation.

Means one of two things.

  • you authorized the user but not with the above scope, if you changed the scope remember the user must consent to this scope so you need to be sure that it popped up the consent screen for the user again.
  • The user who you have authorized themselves does not have access to this information in which case you need to authorize a user with access.
