Transfer from Coinbase Fiat account to Coinbase Pro account returns "forbidden"

Exchange/Pro API
1

Hi,

I am trying to call
POST /deposits/coinbase-account on the sandbox
{
profile_id: ‘c7c6266b-069b-4d4b-…’,
amount: ‘1’,
coinbase_account_id: ‘0c5f97db-80f4-5e06-’, (coinbase standard fiat account)
currency: ‘EUR’
}

but I receive “forbidden” as a response.
The API key is allowed to View/Trade/Transfer and all other (i.e. createOder) are working perfectly.

Any idea why I am unable to transfer from standard to pro?

Hi @BlackPanda .

Thanks for your response. I figured out why the system was complaining.
I tried to transfer funds from the Coinbase standard fiat account to a non-default pro portfolio (which is not directly possible).
That wasn’t clear from the API documentation.
