Dear HubSpot Support Team, I have created a HubSpot application and assigned the required permissions. However, when I try to access the following endpoint using my access token and app ID: GET [https://api.hubapi.com/webhooks/v3/{APP\_ID}/settings](https://api.hubapi.com/webhooks/v3/%7BAPP_ID%7D/settings) I receive the following error response: Error Message: Authentication credentials not found. This API supports OAuth 2.0 authentication and you can find more details at category: “INVALID\_AUTHENTICATION” Could you please clarify if it is possible to access all webhooks-related API calls without publishing the app? Currently, my application is in Draft mode, and I would like to confirm if this limitation is expected or if I may be missing a configuration step. Thanks & Regards ---
