How can I get my Google Groups via API? I am NOT admin

I want to get all my groups but I am not an admin
I know how to fetch groups if I am admin. But if not - I don't understand. Also I can see its via website
My steps:
I do auth with Google and with scope
[
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/groups",
]
I fetch groups by GET. Url: "https://admin.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/groups?domain=konstructly.com"
I get the next problem:
{
"error": {
"code": 403,
"message": "Not Authorized to access this resource/api",
"errors": [
{
"message": "Not Authorized to access this resource/api",
"domain": "global",
"reason": "forbidden"
}
]
}
}
My question
How can I get my Google Groups via Google API?
I tried:
Auth with scope
[
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/groups",
]
GET "https://admin.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/groups?domain=konstructly.com"
Expectation:
List of my groups
Actual result:
{
"error": {
"code": 403,
"message": "Not Authorized to access this resource/api",
"errors": [
{
"message": "Not Authorized to access this resource/api",
"domain": "global",
"reason": "forbidden"
}
]
}
}
Instead of using the Google Workspace Admin SDK, use the Groups Service from Google Apps Script, more specifically GroupsApp.getGroups()

What's causes "403 cannotDownloadFile : This file cannot be downloaded by the user."?

Downloading a file via a GET request sometimes results in this error:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "cannotDownloadFile",
"message": "This file cannot be downloaded by the user."
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "This file cannot be downloaded by the user."
}
}
I'm still identifying what type/s of files results in this error. I've tried looking for the cause in the Drive API v3 documentation, but it seems that it isn't mentioned anywhere.
Anyone know what causes this? Thanks!
From what I've observed so far, this happens for files where the option "Disable options to download, print, and copy for commenters and viewers." is set.

Google Reports API

I need to create simple Java application for Reports API (https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/reports/v1/guides/manage-audit-drive)
But I can't understand is this Reports available only for business users or also for all users?
How can I develop applications for G suite without buy it?
For example, I'm sending this request via Postman - https://www.googleapis.com/admin/reports/v1/activity/users/all/applications/drive
Response is
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "authError",
"message": "Access denied. You are not authorized to read activity records.",
"locationType": "header",
"location": "Authorization"
}
],
"code": 401,
"message": "Access denied. You are not authorized to read activity records."
}
}
Best regards,

Google Drive API "Insufficient permissions for this file" error with Service Account

I am trying to delete permissions on a specific file in Google Drive using Google Drive API and Google Apps Script with a service account.
My mission is to delete permission of a file which is shared with the option "public on the web".
Things I have done so far:
Created a service account with domain-wide delegation.
I have included following scopes in admin.google.com
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.reports.audit.readonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.external_request
error log:
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "forbidden",
"message": "Insufficient permissions for this file",
"locationType": "other",
"location": "file.permissions"
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "Insufficient permissions for this file"
}
}

Get file information through api

I'm not able to get information about a file.
Here it is my situation:
I'm logged in google drive
Through google picker I get the file ID
Then I type the url https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v1/files/[file ID]
But I get the following error:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "usageLimits",
"reason": "dailyLimitExceededUnreg",
"message": "Daily Limit Exceeded. Please sign up",
"extendedHelp": "https://code.google.com/apis/console"
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "Daily Limit Exceeded. Please sign up"
}
}
How can I sort it out?
You can't retrieve the file metadata by typing the url in your browser.
Instead you need to send an authorized request with a valid OAuth 2.0 token.
