Public APIError codes

Insufficient scope (insufficient_scope)

What the GetItDone API problem code insufficient_scope (HTTP 403) means, what causes it, and how to fix it.

HTTP status: 403
Problem type URI: https://nowgetitdone.com/docs/api/problems/insufficient-scope

What it means

The credential is valid but was not granted a scope this operation requires.

Likely causes

The API key was minted without the needed scope (e.g. tasks:write).
An OAuth grant requested read scopes only, then attempted a write.

How to fix

Re-mint the API key with the scopes the operation lists under “Required scopes”.
For OAuth, request the missing scope during authorization.
