[Bug]: Cannot create project (forbidden)

[Garnet11]

scratchattach version

2.1.17, 3.0.0b

What happened?

Whenever I attempt to use the create_project method on a valid Session object, it throws this:
scratchattach.utils.exceptions.Unauthorized: The user corresponding to the connected login / session is not allowed to perform this action. Request content: b'{"code":"Forbidden","message":""}'
I can still create and edit projects just fine on the Scratch website, so I don't think I am banned or suspended on there. I have tried logging in and out on the Scratch website, and creating a new Session object.
Please let me know if you need any more details.

Your code.

currentsession = sa.login("<user>", "<pass>")
currentsession.create_project(title="Hi")

Is your user banned or silenced? Try v3.0.0b and see what happens

[Garnet11]

As I have mentioned in the post, I don't think I'm banned. I'll go check out 3.0.0b.

I have installed the latest 3.0.0 beta and tried again, it still throws the same error.

It seems that the project creation api has changed somehow (if this is correct)

I cannot replicate the issue.
My code:

>>> import scratchattach
>>> session = scratchattach.login_from_browser(scratchattach.FIREFOX)
>>> session.create_project(title="Test project 1")
<scratchattach.site.project.Project object at 0x0000013A7E176660>

You may have bypassed the built-in rate limit in scratchattach. It seems as though you are rate limited.

[Garnet11]

You may have bypassed the built-in rate limit in scratchattach.

The traceback appears to be related to the request it sends, not a built-in limit. I have also waited more than 5 minutes before trying again.
I also tried the browser cookie method, but that wouldn't work either.
I can still create and edit projects on the Scratch website without issue.

I'll try to see if this is on my end or not.

[Garnet11]

I have found something in https://github.com/TimMcCool/scratchattach/blob/main/scratchattach/site/session.py
When you scroll down to the create_project method, there is a code comment saying "not working"
The creator may already be aware of this? It could be that it just doesn't consistently work, but I don't really know. I'm going to leave this be and implement a fix just using the raw Scratch API.

Looks like I'm having the same issue...
I'm using scratchattach v3.0.0b3, specifically my fork with the tw debug compliance changes at commit a44c3f5be3d3da946d696c960123009b0b1a2891

Code:

>>> import os
>>> import scratchattach as sa
>>> passwrd = os.environ.get(<SECRET>)
>>> session = sa.login(<username>, passwrd)
#LoginDataWarning... 
>>> session.create_project(title="test")
#Traceback... 
scratchattach.utils.exceptions.Unauthorized: The user.... is not allowed to perform this action. Request content: b'{"code":"Forbidden","message":""}'

i also get this error with a fresh installation from pypi

also doesn't work on git

proj.create_remix has the same issue

it would be good to test if this works using the automated testing. however I am not 100% sure how we should handle 'write/update' operations for the tests. i would suggest using a different test account

ive manually made a new implementation. i will make it into a minimal working example then replace the create_project and create_remix with it.
