Getting 403/Forbidden Response from BIM360 and Construction Cloud Assets Endpoints

I'm attempting to run a GET request against a BIM360 project's assets endpoint. Would someone please advise if this is a bug or if I'm missing something?

Though my auth token is working for just about any other endpoint I've tried (hubs, projects, top folders, and folder), I keep getting a 403 response from the server:

{
  "title": "Forbidden",
  "detail": "Forbidden",
  "errorCode": "GENERAL_ERROR",
  "type": "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/bim360/assets/v1/error-codes/GENERAL_ERROR"
}

The request that produced this:

curl --request GET \
  --url https://developer.api.autodesk.com/bim360/assets/v2/projects/{project_id}/assets \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJ...'

My app is registered in the account admin page, and the account I'm auth'd with here is an admin. My app also has BIM360 and Construction Cloud selected: enter image description here

Thank you.

I found the issue - the project I was querying didn't have Assets enabled within the Project Admin. Once I enabled Assets, I was able to hit the endpoint successfully. If anyone else is looking at this issue in the future, follow these steps to enable Assets.

May I offer a couple of feedback requests for the AD team to consider?

  • Update the error message to explain what's actually happening. The Forbidden code is a little misleading here. Responders to the question and I thought this was an issue with the token/user/etc when really it wasn't.
  • Mention the requirement that Assets should be enabled in the Before You Begin sections of the assets tutorials and/or the assets endpoint docs.
