Hi folks, In an effort to see if the Events API may contain a way for me to get email events as well outside of the official email API, I wanted to see the data that comes from the Events V3 API. I keep getting this error despite clearing my cache, verifying my test account permissions, modifying my code to include the business-intelligence scope and changing my application scope to require the business-intelligence scope for this API. [Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/events/event-analytics) {“message”:“Your app doesn’t the have scopes needed to make this call. Do you have access to the ‘business-intelligence’ scope? Missing auth details: event-detail-read,web-analytics-api-access”} Anyways, thanks team for any support Edit: does this line here imply that I can’t access this API unless the free test and dev account I have (separate from my dev account) is upgraded to a higher enterprise plan? ![Screenshot 2024-05-22 at 2.35.43 PM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/a/5ac04d3143209364f69ab09919a06a9a30e4ca35.png) ---

Hey, @CBarnwell 👋 Thanks for your question. Can you clarify which account cannot use the mentioned API? Is it one of the app test accounts created from a dev portal? Or is this happening with a free HubSpot account that you are testing with? Thanks! — Jaycee ---

Hi [@Jaycee\_Lewis](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/127074) so, I have a oauth-based app install on my dev account that’s trying to access the business-intelligence data on the app test account. Edit: Just to clarify, it’s an oauth-based app on my dev account that’s installed on the app test account. I am trying to access the business-intelligence data from the app test account. ---

Hey, @CBman 👋 I get the same error using my test portal and a Private App. Request: ```lia-code-sample curl --request GET \ --url 'https://api.hubapi.com/events/v3/events/?objectType=cats' \ --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' ``` Response ```lia-code-sample HTTP 403 { "status": "error", "message": "Insufficient scopes, requires one of: [event-detail-read,web-analytics-api-access]", "correlationId": "deffb184-1a36-444c-9bf7-6d98214c8f07", "errors": [ { "message": "Your app doesn't the have scopes needed to make this call. Do you have access to the 'business-intelligence' scope? Missing auth details: event-detail-read,web-analytics-api-access" } ], "category": "INVALID_AUTHENTICATION" } ``` Scopes on my Private App ![CleanShot 2024-05-29 at 21.09.12@2x.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/6/4/6443b5fe960495067fbf190f9bdae91fba8b45e2.png) I am going to track down the team that owns this endpoint and confirm the following: - is this endpoint not working as designed in relation to [developer test accounts](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/account-types#developer-test-accounts) - is there a reason this would **not** be available to public apps using OAuth and installed in a [developer test account](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/account-types#developer-test-accounts)? That feels confusing to me 🙃 In fully transparency, I will be OOO Friday, but I’ll get this to my internal resources tomorrow. Thank you very much for taking the time to post this issue here. Talk soon! — Jaycee ---

Thanks [@Jaycee\_Lewis](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/127074) for looking into this and forwarding the information. You may need the **business-intelligence** scope mentioned in the request. I have that on my application although it doesn’t work. I notice a new piece of information here though. I didn’t initially request for the **behavioral\_events.event\_definitions.read\_write** but my account can’t access for that I think since when I request for that, I get this error. ```lia-code-sample HTTP 403 { "status": "error", "message": "Authorization failed because this account doesn't have access to the scopes required by the app. Please contact HubSpot support.", "correlationId": "c7676c79-0aa4-4180-b413-af1ba26af698", "category": "MISSING_SCOPES", "subCategory": "AuthorizationErrorType.PORTAL_UNAUTHORIZED" } ``` I also noticed that in the docs, [https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/scopes](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/scopes) that only marketing enterprise accounts can leverage that scope. Is that scope necessary to access the v3 Events API? ![Screenshot 2024-05-30 at 9.52.40 AM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/2X/d/d6b3171af8cae7536b594b7ea9252df59cbd1694.png) ---

Hello, I have the same issue. My app has business-intelligence access, although not behavioural\_events as my account cannot access that even though it is super admin. ---

I updated my free trial subscription on the dev account and it started to work FYI for anyone else troubleshooting this issue. However, it doesn’t seem like I can retrieve any email send events with this API even though I’m sending emails and getting statistics on them via the marketing emails APIs. Should the /events v3 API retrieve email events as well? I used the query events API to retrieve all the ones that have “sent” in the name.
