[solved] can't create collection

[pseudo pilot]

error:
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: http://ip/v1/databases/659293b2r23rb232bw/collections

[marsh dune]

Is this with a Client SDK or a Server SDK?

[pseudo pilot]

Server sdk

[finite swift]

Hello! Could you please share your code or the problematic fragment, so we take a look into what could be failing?

[pseudo pilot]

It is the basic code from GitHub python sdk examples

[pseudo pilot]

“databases.create_collection(database_id="658f2efa61",collection_id="",name="Wow")“

[placid wing]

Where exactly did you see this example? Because this is missing the collection ID

[placid wing]

But this error occurs because of access (missing or incorrect API key)

[pseudo pilot]

i want collection id to be random

[placid wing]

You want an auto generated id?

[pseudo pilot]

yea

is there a problem

[placid wing]

Yes, you need to use ID.unique() just like you would for documents

[pseudo pilot]

also in python ?

[placid wing]

Yes of course

[pseudo pilot]

ok

lemme try it

[pseudo pilot]

still error

appwrite.exception.AppwriteException: User (role: guests) missing scope (collections.write)

[finite swift]

Could you please copypaste here the entire code?

And remove your endpoint domain if it's not a localhost address

[pseudo pilot]

from appwrite.services.databases import Databases

client = Client()
(client .set_endpoint("https/455/rg")
    .set_project("efsbsf864sefse")) 
databases = Databases(client)
                  

databases.create_collection(database_id="efseff45",collection_id="453534drg",name="WAW")```

[marsh dune]

I’m assuming you’ve redacted the endpoint address here?

[marsh dune]

And you don’t seem to be setting your API key?

[finite swift]

I think the issue is that the user is trying to perform the creation client side and it needs to be server side since it's a collection and not a document

[pseudo pilot]

Yep

[pseudo pilot]

Let me check

[finite swift]

@pseudo pilotAre you doing this in flutter or in an Appwrite function?

[pseudo pilot]

Function

[marsh dune]

It’s Python - there’s no Client SDK

[finite swift]

True, I thought it was flutter because of the icon in profile 😆

The solution should be that, basically adding the API key with valid scopes

[pseudo pilot]

it works now thank you
