Query for data/v1/item-types/:itemType/items/:itemId/assets return empty response for the item

[modulitos]

This bug is related to the bug I posted here: kscottz/PythonFromSpace#1

I am trying to gather assets for my items, but my queries for assets always return an empty object. Any suggestions on how I can gather these assets?

For example, I can look up an item with the following query: https://api.planet.com/data/v1/item-types/PSScene3Band/items/20170520_181725_1044/ but I am getting an empty object when I try to get the assets for that item, here:
https://api.planet.com/data/v1/item-types/PSScene3Band/items/20170520_181725_1044/assets/

Here is a more thorough example:

# Import helper modules:
import os
import json
import requests

# Setup the API Key from the `PL_API_KEY` environment variable
PLANET_API_KEY = os.getenv('PL_API_KEY')
print("PLANET_API_KEY:", PLANET_API_KEY)

# Helper function to printformatted JSON using the json module
def p(data):
    print(json.dumps(data, indent=2))


# Our First Request

# Setup Planet Data API base URL
# url from the example:
# URL = "https://api.planet.com/data/v1"
# url for the 'items' api returns the item in the response:
# URL = "https://api.planet.com/data/v1/item-types/PSScene3Band/items/20170520_181725_1044"

# TODO: why does querying for that item's asset give an empty response?
URL = "https://api.planet.com/data/v1/item-types/PSScene3Band/items/20170520_181725_1044/assets/"

# Setup the session
session = requests.Session()

# Authenticate
session.auth = (PLANET_API_KEY, "")

# Make a GET request to the Planet Data API
res = session.get(URL)
print("res.status_code", res.status_code)
print("res.text:", res.text)
print(res.json())
p(res.json())

Perhaps this is a bug in the API, or maybe I am missing something? Any tips would be helpful.

@Lukeswart Your code looks fine. Unfortunately this is a permissions issue. See my response here: kscottz/PythonFromSpace#1 (comment)
