What happened

Please describe the command you ran, what you expected to happen, and what happened instead.

I ran fastly service create and got a 404 instead of a new service. It's the same error whether I pass --type=wasm or not:

❯ fastly service create

ERROR: the Fastly API returned 404 Not Found: Record not found (Cannot find 'service').

If you believe this error is the result of a bug, please file an issue: https://github.com/fastly/cli/issues/new?labels=bug&template=bug_report.md
❯ fastly service create --type=wasm

ERROR: the Fastly API returned 404 Not Found: Record not found (Cannot find 'service').

This is usually caused by using a Fastly API token which has 'service authorizations' (restrictions) configured on it - tokens with limited service visibility cannot be used to create new services. Please check the configuration of the token you are using.

Thanks. Have you considered changing the error message to say something like that, instead of insisting the API endpoint doesn't exist?

That question would need to be entered in a support ticket, not here :-) The team responsible for the CLI is not responsible for the behavior of the API.
