Using the Syncano v4 Python Library, I attempted to do the following:

book_class = instance.classes.create(
  name='book',
  schema='[{"name": "title", "type": "string"}, {"name": "author", "type": "string"}]’
)

And received this error:

syncano.exceptions.SyncanoRequestError: 403 You do not have permission to perform this action.

I'm currently using the instance API key - what am I doing wrong?

403 in the response usually means you are trying to access an endpoint with either non-existing key or wrong type of key.

In this case - you cannot create classes using instance api key - using your account key is necessary. If you don't have it, you can always check it in the dashboard, or just use https://api.syncano.io/v1/account/auth/ endpoint to log in (or use api explorer: http://docs.syncano.com/v0.1/docs/account-log-in, account key will be in the response, once you pass your credentials).

Once you have your account key, you should use it to connect to your syncano instance:

import syncano
from syncano.models.base import Class

connection = syncano.connect(api_key="ACCOUNT_KEY")

book_class = Class.please.create(
    instance_name='INSTANCE_NAME',
    name='books',
    schema=[
        {"name": "title", "type": "string"},
        {"name": "author", "type": "string"}
    ])

If account key and instance name are correct this code should work fine.

You have to use the account key to create new classes. You can also use the Syncano GUI to make them. More info is on that here. Hope that helps
