401 to get /accounts

I did

TL;DR

Developers are facing a 401 error when trying to access /accounts on their web app using Appwrite. They are trying to check if the user is logged in, but keep getting a 'role missing scope' error. The solution is to ensure the user has the required scope (account) in the console. The Quickstart code provided doesn't show how to use an API key.

I have both Web and Android but I'm building for Web first

Do I need to set up the API Key?

than add the web on the platform?

If you have than you should.

I did. Its already there.

The quickstart code doesn't show how to use API key though.

can you share the logs

TypeScript

AppwriteException: User (role: guests) missing scope (account)
    at Client.<anonymous> (file:///C:/Users/User/sides/ladanglink/node_modules/appwrite/dist/esm/sdk.js:655:23)
    at Generator.next (<anonymous>)
    at fulfilled (file:///C:/Users/User/sides/ladanglink/node_modules/appwrite/dist/esm/sdk.js:19:58)
    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) {
  code: 401,
  type: 'general_unauthorized_scope',
  response: {
    message: 'User (role: guests) missing scope (account)',
    code: 401,
    type: 'general_unauthorized_scope',
    version: '1.6.1'
  }
}

I got it to work

TypeScript

import { Client, Account, ID } from "appwrite";

const client = new Client()
    .setProject(import.meta.env.VITE_APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID); // Your project ID

const account = new Account(client);

const promise = account.create(ID.unique(), 'email@example.com', 'password');

promise.then(function (response) {
    console.log(response); // Success
}, function (error) {
    console.log(error); // Failure
});

It seems I don't need to specify the endpoint... strange

oh wait... its still not working when trying to get the account

Do one thing check the session for the account

how do I check?

Like this? https://appwrite.io/docs/references/cloud/client-web/account#getSession

Yes

I tried. Still same error message.

Code that I tried

TypeScript

import { Client, Account } from "appwrite";

const client = new Client()
    .setProject('Your Project ID'); // Your project ID

const account = new Account(client);

const user_account = await account.getSession('current');

console.log(user_account); // Success
