Hey everyone,

Could someone help clarify something for me?

I’m trying to connect to my private Space via the API, but I keep getting a 404 error. This seems odd because I would expect a 403 error if there was an issue with my token. Does a 404 suggest that private Spaces can’t be connected to via the API at all?

I removed the authentication as well… still 404

I’ve read through some other posts, but I haven’t found a clear answer.

Can anyone confirm whether it’s possible to connect to a private Space via the API?

Thanks in advance!
