    Hi kennyroyelphej,

    The error message shows that the access token is not generated as needed or maybe it's not valid anymore (has expired already). Did you organize your token flow/generation/refresh as shown here? 🧐 If not, give it a try and repeat your calls in this context. 😉 Does the same error message appear?

    Hope this helps.
