Apptoken gives error 22 ""sign-in required"" for some tables, not for others

Question

When using the QuickBase Ruby client and do the following (information obscured by asterisks):

qbc = QuickBase::Client.init("org" => '****', "apptoken" => '*****')

and do:

db_id = '****' # dbid of a table

qbc.getSchema(db_id)

I get the error:

Error code: 22 text: Sign-in required: detail: The page you have requested can be viewed only by users who have signed in. Please sign in to proceed.

If I change the db_id to a dbid of a specific other table in the same app, I get back a valid schema.

What is going on?

Thanks,

--Allan

Maybe you need to use a usertoken to do the authentication.   https://help.quickbase.com/api-guide/...

AllanIt's possible that one table is open to anyone on the internet and the second table is not. &nbsp;Have you tried using the URL form to see if you can access both tables using the login you are sending? &nbsp;Neil

Dear Neil: thank you so much for responding!
That is indeed an explanation. I found this reference: https://community.quickbase.com/quickbase/topics/i-am-trying-to-make-one-form-in-a-table-public-and-...

Though, eventually I arrived at authenticating using the QuickBase Client authenticate method.

Many thanks indeed!
