403 - "Required permission \\u0027competitions.get\\u0027 was not satisfied"

[rusmux]

I'm trying to download a file (https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/planet-understanding-the-amazon-from-space/data?select=train-jpg) from a competition via Kaggle Python API. I have verified my phone number and agreed to the rules. I can download this file by clicking download button on the competition page, however I cannot achieve the same behavior using the Python API.

There is my code:

import os
from kaggle.api.kaggle_api_extended import KaggleApi

os.environ['KAGGLE_USERNAME'] = "..."
os.environ['KAGGLE_KEY'] = "..."

api = KaggleApi()
api.authenticate()

api.competition_download_file(
    "https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/planet-understanding-the-amazon-from-space",
    file_name="train-jpg.tar",
)

Which gives me the following error:

@ucas010 You have the same issue with the Kaggle cli? You can get 403 - Forbidden if you didn't accept the rules of the competition. I tried and I can download it with kaggle competitions download avazu-ctr-prediction after accepting the rules.
