Trello gives a 403 error

Neoculture

I have just tried this evening to install the MMM-Trello module but all I keep getting on screen is a “403” error. I have gone through the instructions on how to get an API key, Token and List ID - although the instructions didn’t mention anything about how to set up a “Power-up” in order to get an API key, so I may have gotten something wrong there.

The error I get in mm-output.log is as follows:

For the record, the Weather and Calendar app are pulling data correctly.

Any ideas?

Yeah, it looks like a change made by Trello/Atlassian:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/changelog/#CHANGE-1459

20 February 2024

DEPRECATION NOTICE

Trello API will no longer accept GET request with data in body

Rollout completed March 12th 2024

Trello’s API will no longer permit supplying a body with a GET request. Previous behavior in our API ignored the payloads provided with GET requests but these requests will now be blocked with a 403 response from our content delivery network.

To resolve issues resulting from this change ensure all GET requests to Trello’s API are sent without a payload.

I commented on the issue raised for MMM-Trello, and the author isn’t able to keep up with the development anymore. I’m going to see if I can pick it up, but no promises…

If you’re willing to edit code, a fix was posted on the MMM-Trello github issue:

Edit this file: ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Trello/node_modules/node-trello/lib/node-trello.js
Replace

  else {
    options.json = this.addAuthArgs(this.parseQuery(uri, args));
  }

with

  else {
    options.json = true; // tells request to return json
    // options.json = this.addAuthArgs(this.parseQuery(uri, args));
  }

I’ve confirmed it worked for me. :)
