commercetools: Insufficient scope on request

Question

When I try to fetch products then I get the error message "Insufficient scope":

curl -vsH "Authorization: Bearer MY_ACCESS_TOKEN" https://api.sphere.io/MY_PROJECT/products

output:

* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
*   Trying 162.13.76.39...
* Connected to api.sphere.io (162.13.76.39) port 443 (#0)

Insufficient scope

[The question originated from an internal support request.]

Answer 1

This error message appears when a token is invalid for a commercetools project, for example it is for another project.

To recover from this problem create a new token for the project.
