Hello,

I am trying to use passbolt lookup plugin [https://github.com/passbolt/passbolt-ansible-lookup-plugin](https://github.com/passbolt/passbolt-ansible-lookup-plugin)

I have the following error :

exception during Jinja2 execution: Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “/home/admin/.ansible/collections/ansible\_collections/passbolt/passbolt\_lookup/plugins/lookup/passbolt\_lookup.py”, line 155, in run  
resource = passbolt\_api\_client.get\_resource(resource\_uuid).to\_dict()  
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  
File “/home/admin/.ansible/collections/ansible\_collections/passbolt/passbolt\_lookup/plugins/module\_utils/passbolt/passbolt\_api\_client.py”, line 100, in get\_resource  
resource\_body = self.\_fetch\_resource(id)  
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

raise RuntimeError(  
RuntimeError: Failed to fetch resource ‘…’. HTTP 403

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible/template/ **init**.py”, line 816, in \_lookup  
ran = instance.run(loop\_terms, variables=self.\_available\_variables, \*\*kwargs)  
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

raise AnsibleError(“Passbolt lookup failed: %s” % e)  
ansible.errors.AnsibleError: Passbolt lookup failed: Failed to fetch resource ‘…’. HTTP 403  
fatal: [AVMCVMA → localhost]: FAILED! =\> {  
“msg”: “An unhandled exception occurred while running the lookup plugin ‘passbolt.passbolt\_lookup.passbolt\_lookup’. Error was a \<class ‘ansible.errors.AnsibleError’\>, original message: Passbolt lookup failed: Failed to fetch resource ‘…’. HTTP 403. Passbolt lookup failed: Failed to fetch resource ‘…’. HTTP 403”  
}

Playbook task:

```auto
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    ansible_password: >-
      {{ lookup('passbolt.passbolt_lookup.passbolt_lookup', '{{ passbolt_uuid }}', skip_ssl_verification=true) }}
  delegate_to: localhost

```

Any idea where I should look at to troubleshoot this ?
