Cannot retrieve project with project api key

[chris-rock]

I try to get the project information for a project api key:

os.Setenv("PACKET_AUTH_TOKEN", "PROJECT_API_KEY")

c, err := packngo.NewClient()
require.NoError(t, err)

project, _, err := c.Projects.Get("PROJECT_ID", nil)
require.NoError(t, err)
log.Println(project)

This always throws an 401 error. If I use c.Projects.List it returns the project. Is that behavior intended?

I try to implement a similar behavior as your terraform provider https://github.com/packethost/terraform-provider-packet/blob/master/packet/datasource_packet_project.go#L116-L122. I wonder if this works with project api keys?

Hi @chris-rock, Thanks for the report. I verified and it's true.

When I use project API key and call c.Projects.List(nil), I will get the project record in the result slice, and there will be only the parent project of the API key.

But when I try to do c.Projects.Get(project_id, nil) with auth token from project with ID project_id, the Metal API will return 404 Not Found.

It would make sense for the c.Project.Get(project_id, nil) to succeed for the parent project of the API Key.

This is an API bug. @displague can you please bring to attention of API devs?

@t0mk Thank you for confirming. The same happens with a get calls for an Organization

[displague]

I will raise the issue of the GET /projects/{id} not working with Project API keys, especially despite GET /projects working.

I can understand a project scoped key not revealing organization level details, what is your use-case, @chris-rock?

Oh I was just thinking that we could get the org details of a project since the API returns the organization url as part of the project fetch.
