kaggle api returns 401 - Unauthorized

I can’t download kaggle data via kaggle api, either on local and on google colab. I can download data on kaggle GUI, which means I successfully enrolled in the competition.

I followed the procedure on https://github.com/Kaggle/kaggle-api to use kaggle api.

Here are information on my environment.

ls /Users/.kaggle/
# ls /Users/.kaggle/
# kaggle.json

ls -l /Users/.kaggle/
# total 8
# -rw-r--r--@ 1 root  admin  64  6 26 18:59 kaggle.json

I thought the api token was not made correctly, so I made them all expire and made a new token again, but it did not work.

I appreciate if anyone help me out.

I ran into the same problem, but after creating a new Kaggle Token, the problem was fixed!
