Hey there Towfiqi,

Is there any update on this : [start] [ERROR] Search Console API Error for domain.com (30days) : 403 Bad Request.

been trying hard but it isnt working.

Just to chime in here, I've been running into the same issue. Both through an instance hosted on PikaPods and on my own server. I've verified my GSC API is running, added the user to our GSC account, followed all the steps as outlined in the docs, and still get 403s.

Exactly. I have been trying since January I think or Feb Early. No luck. only 403 Error.

Same issue here self-hosted on docker.

Same here

As you know, 403 means permission error. Which means the API key you inserted does not have the permission to make the calls for that specific domain. Its working fine on my installation.

Ensure that you have completed the Required Steps:

1. You have inserted the Service key Email address as a user in in your Google Search Console domain property.
2. You have inserted the private_key and the client_email values in your env.local file. Or if you are using docker, then follow this step . But beware that since the private_key contains new line, the key might be incompletely stored as described here.

Got it working. You need to give access to the service account to a "domain property" @ Google Search Console.

@sergiorodenas Great! Can you please check the documentation and see if I missed describing a step? https://docs.serpbear.com/miscellaneous/integrate-google-search-console

are there a way to get URL prefix property not Domain property datas?

[towfiqi]

That's not currently possible.

[towfiqi]

This issue was caused by SerpBear's inability to add the URL properties of the Google Search Console. It only supported domain property. The ability to add URL property has been added in v1.0.0 so this issue should not occur anymore. If anyone is having this issue, try updating your SerpBear instance to the latest version.
