Hi! Thanks for the quick response! 1. I’m aware that the `g/{groupname}/reports/{id}` URL works for **users interactively logged into the Discourse site**. However, **using cURL to call the Discourse API using URLs of that format** does not work. I’ve tried a wide variety of user types, groups and API key settings and none worked. In the hopes of eliminating as many factors as possible, I tried with an API key that has no scopes configured (I assume this means its wide open) and associated that key with an admin user (who’s a member of the group that the [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) query references) and I get an HTML page in response that says “Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.” 2. Thanks for confirming that admins can access everything. I suspected as much. Thanks again! --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/data-explorer-discourse-api-issues/326055)._
