[401] Your token does not have sufficient permissions to perform this operation

How To
1

Hello everyone,

I am using MAKE to post video pins on Pinterest, but I have encountered an issue. MAKE has already obtained authorization and received the access token. However, when I run the /v5/media API request (which corresponds to the “Make a Request” module in Make), I get a 401 error:

“[401] Your token does not have sufficient permissions to perform this operation. Please ensure your token is authorized with the correct set of scopes.”

I am completely confused because the same operation worked fine in a previous Make automation project, but this project is encountering this issue.

Can anyone help me? I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

[
{
“url”: “/v5/media”,
“body”: “{‘media_type’: ‘video’}”,
“method”: “POST”,
“headers”: [
{
“key”: “Content-Type”,
“value”: “application/json”
}
]
}
]

I found the reason! You must first obtain authorization through “Create a Pin” and then use “Make a Request” to get the connection. If you do it the other way around, the authorization obtained through “Make a Request” will result in insufficient permissions!
