"Access Denied" when trying to get a Target audience via API although I can list audiences

[Dmytro_Panchenk]

Hi Everyone,

I configured Target API integration in the dev console and assigned "Approver" Target role to that integration as shown in the screenshot. I also assigned a specific product profile, and included my Target workspace into that profile.

With that integration, I was able to get the list of activities for my workspace, get a specified XT activity, and the list of audiences for the workspace.

However, when I tried to view a specific Target audience that I created in my workspace, I got the error shown below. The audience's source is "Adobe Target", and it belongs to my workspace.

Can anyone suggest how to overcome that error?

    }
  ]

Hi @Dmytro_Panchenk ,

To resolve this, please do set the below Accept header in your API request. 

--header 'Accept: application/vnd.adobe.target.v3+json'

Given different versions of the API may expose different data models, permission checks, or resource handling rules. Without explicitly requesting v3, the default (usually v1 or v2) is used, which i guess does not have access to workspace-scoped audiences.

I tried this on my end and I'm now getting proper response.

Thank you @VikasOhlan , adding the header helped.
