Google Workspace Alert Center get/update settings calls returning 404

Question

Ref: https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/alertcenter/reference/rest

The getSettings & updateSettings API calls there are returning 404.

Go code which was working till early January has started to fail at least since mid-January. The same service account credentials work correctly for calling list API call for e.g. I was wondering if this is a SDK issue and tried Python too, but seeing the same behaviour there.

On https://alertcenter.googleapis.com on a browser with no credentials:

/v1beta1/settings throws a 404 which isn't expected
/v1beta1/alerts throws a 401 correctly

Python code sample using google-api-python-client==2.75.0

# alert.py
from google.oauth2 import service_account
from googleapiclient.discovery import build


def main():
 
    credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
        'service_account_credentials.json',
        scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.alerts'],
        subject='<email of Google Workspace user authorized to manage alerts>'
        )
    
    # Build the service
    service = build('alertcenter', 'v1beta1', credentials=credentials)
    response = service.v1beta1().getSettings().execute()
    # When uncommented, the below call works with the same credentials
    # response = service.alerts().list().execute()
    print(response)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Golang code sample using google.golang.org/api v0.109.0

// alert.go
package main

import (
    "context"
    "crypto/tls"
    "fmt"
    "github.com/hashicorp/go-cleanhttp"
    "golang.org/x/oauth2"
    "golang.org/x/oauth2/google"
    "google.golang.org/api/alertcenter/v1beta1"
    "io/ioutil"
    "net/http"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    creds, err := ioutil.ReadFile("service_account_credentials.json")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
    config, err := google.JWTConfigFromJSON(creds, alertcenter.AppsAlertsScope)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
    config.Subject = "<email of Google Workspace user authorized to manage alerts>"
    transport := cleanhttp.DefaultPooledTransport()
    transport.TLSClientConfig = &tls.Config{
        InsecureSkipVerify: false,
    }
    transport.ResponseHeaderTimeout = 30 * time.Second
    hc := &http.Client{
        Transport: transport,
    }
    ctx := context.WithValue(context.Background(), oauth2.HTTPClient, hc)
    client := config.Client(ctx)
    srv, err := alertcenter.New(client)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
    fmt.Println(srv)
    s, err := srv.V1beta1.GetSettings().Context(ctx).Do()
    // When uncommented, the below call works with the same credentials
    // s, err := srv.Alerts.List().Context(ctx).Do()
    fmt.Println(s)
    fmt.Println(err)
}

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Get the service account credentials JSON file and substitute the path in the code
Get the Google Workspace user's email and substitute the subject in the code
python3 alert.py or go run alert.go

Expected/actual output

I used to get standard get & update settings 200 responses as mentioned in the documentation earlier. Now I get this with the Python code:

  <p><b>404.</b> <ins>That’s an error.</ins>
  <p>The requested URL <code>/v1beta1/settings</code> was not found on this server.  <ins>That’s all we know.</ins>

The Golang code also has a similar output now.
