404 errors from myminifactory when trying to synchronise private files

[IanM1981]

So I've noticed an issue with importing myminifactory objects. I have been getting 404 errors trying to sync certain objects but others work just fine. On digging into it I saw that Manyfold is reporting a 404 error when trying to access the api link. However when I view the link manually the JSON file is served to me with no issues. After a bit of head scratching I tried the link in a different browser that wasn't logged in and I got the 404 that Manyfold is seeing. So from that it seems the API doesn't inherit my permissions and needs further authentication to grant access to some things via the API. Reading over the API documentation on MMF it looks like its possible to use a browser to approve an oauth token for use with MMFs api and it looks like that would give the permissions it needs. While i can see it might be a bit complicated having to log into a servers browser to complete the authentication process every time its needed and certainly wouldn't be appropriate on a big group or public server. That wouldn't be too much of a problem for private use as most of the private models in my collection are from patreons so the import would only need to work once a month or so. I'd imagine a lot of other people would have the same experience Is this something that could be implemented or is it too far out of scope? https://github.com/MyMiniFactory/api-documentation/blob/master/oauth2-instructions.md

You're absolutely right, we don't have full per-user auth to MMF at the moment. However, I was thinking of working on that soon for a few reasons. Hopefully soon.

Thanks for the update, I did wonder if a quick bodge fix would just be to add a field where I could copy and paste the json file but if a full solution is close on the horizon then I'll look forward to the update. Thanks for all the work on this its really appreciated.
