I am trying to use the Discourse API to create a list of all posts (first posts only) with a specific tag. So far, I’ve only been able to get the latest posts, which retrieves around 40 posts, including comments. When I tried retrieving a specific post id, some of them have worked, but for some I got the response  
`{'errors': ['You are not permitted to view the requested resource.'],'error_type': 'invalid_access'}`  
even though the API key I’m using has admin access to all posts on our Discourse. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
