Sharepoint REST api HTTP Error 403: Forbidden getting versions

Question

I'm able to get the value of the file:

url = sharepoint_app_url + "_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('" + file_path + "')/$value"

However when I want to get the versions or a specific version I get the 403 forbidden

url1 = sharepoint_app_url + "_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('" + file_path + "')/Versions"

What permissions you have on the file, read/edit/full control? — Ganesh Sanap - MVP, Commented Dec 5, 2023 at 7:31

Does your permission level has the checkbox "View versions"

enabled?/_layouts/15/editrole.aspx?role=Edit

https://[yoursitecollection]/_layouts/15/editrole.aspx?role=Edit Where role= your permission level (Read, Contribute, Full Control, etc) You can also go to https://[yoursitecollection]/_layouts/15/user.aspx And use the button permission levels in the Ribbon

How are you setting up your connection to SharePoint? If you are using clientid/secret (ACS) then permissions have to be set using the appinv.aspx file

yes permission have been added in appinv.aspx, <AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true"> <AppPermissionRequest Scope="sharepoint/content/sitecollection" Right="Read" /> <AppPermissionRequest Scope="sharepoint/content/sitecollection/web/list" Right="Write"/> <AppPermissionRequest Scope="sharepoint/content/sitecollection/web/list" Right="FullControl"/> </AppPermissionRequests>

What happens when you go in the browser to the versions: https://[yoursitecollection]/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Test')/Items(2)/Versions Replace listname and id with your values
