[SOLVED] API Token Page returns 403 error

by cj_clippy » Post

I am setting up a minetest server and I would like to install a mod manager, https://github.com/brtkuu/minetest_mods_manager.

Said mod manager requires a content.minetest.net API Token which I believe I am to get from https://content.minetest.net/users/cj_clippy/tokens/

However, the problem is that https://content.minetest.net/users/cj_clippy/tokens/ gives me a 403 error with the following message:

Code: Select all

Forbidden

You don't have the permission to access the requested resource. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
Is this an issue for everyone or just me? Is there a new way to get an API Token? Is such a feature no longer offered? I don't know what to do from here.

cj_clippers is a user name. You are trying to access someone else tokens. For example i can access my tokens under https://content.minetest.net/users/rob123/tokens/. Make sure you have the account to access it.
If my post says something, it is a opinion and not fact unless i say so

Yes, I'm cj_clippy. I'm logged in to ContentDB and I'm clicking on the API Tokens button in my settings page to get to that link.

I contacted rubenwardy who runs ContentDB. They replied with the following.
When you first join up to ContentDB, you have the rank of "New Member". You get promoted to "Member" when you have a package or review for a week. New Members currently can't use the API.

This doesn't necessarily make sense, there's nothing you can do with the API that you can't do by scraping, so I'll probably change it so that New Members can use the API soon.
