We build an application where we access the freshdesk API
in order to update tickets of a client.
What we get from the client is an API key that has update permissions on tickets.
Everything works fine until suddenly (last time over the change of midnight) the API key suddenly has no permissions anymore - not even reading permission.
For example when requesting the endpoint https://.freshdesk.com/api/v2/tickets
I get the following message.
{
"code": "access_denied",
"message": "You are not authorized to perform this action."
}
The customer did to our knowledge not change any permission of this agent the API key we have from.
It happend over midnight nobody is working then.
Also if our customer resets the api key and gives us the new one its fine for one day until suddendly permissions are gone.
Yes I agree that the problem is not the reset of the key
but instead the problem is that what I suspect is that key permission changes due to
some bug of the freshdesk API itself.
Again this customer did not change the permissions.
So how can I talk directly with a developer that can help me debug this problem directly?
I think it is of interest to the developers to find this what I suspect is a bug.
Sure Alexander,
Help me understand this a bit more.
Did you get a new/other API key with permissions and face this issue again? Or, Is this the first time you had this issue of Key permission change? If not, please let us know how often you find this behavior?
We got a key. It worked for some time (last time only one day until midnight) and then suddenly no permissions anymore.
Once our customer resets the API key permissions are OK again until suddenly they are gone at a certain point in time. (I only know for sure that last time permission was gone after Jan. 31, 2022, 11p.m. UTC time. The key was reset on the same day = Jan. 31, 2022, 2:44 p.m. UTC time)
