I get the same error, for kaggle c list any solutions for this so far?

[Tamminhdiep97]

i encounterd this yesterday, after trying so many thing, i remembered that I create a new Token and use it on a different machine, so the machine which i am currently having the problem with probably had an outdated api token
so, i follow this create a new api token and add it to the machine with the error, and the error was no more
@marcimarc1 @achaosss hope this can help you

turns out @Tamminhdiep97 is right. the error was due to an outdated api

[aetherclouds]

still getting this on linux and python 3.10.12, probably because I didn't download the Kaggle CLI, but I fixed it with:

- from kaggle import api
+ from kaggle.api.kaggle_api_extended import KaggleApi
+ api = KaggleApi()
+ api.authenticate()
# use the api normally
api.competition_download_cli(...)

The error is indeed because of a bad token. I'm updating the library to make the error clearer.

@Philmod Hey, just wanted to let you know I got this error even after pip install --upgrade kaggle. The message was extremely confusing and I only realized it was because of the token by reading this thread.

Quick question, is there a reason as to why this error comes about? On trying twice with fresh API(s), it failed but worked on the third try. Unsure of how to reproduce this verifiably enough. Thanks for the workaround though!
