The error can be reproduced with and without VPN.

Hi @hafeezibbad,

Could you try using the REST API instructions as well to see if you can reproduce the error? The python client library unfortunately makes it hard to access error details right now (see googleapis/python-api-core#99). If you send a request directly to the REST API it may have additional details about which field is invalid.

Hi, I can not reproduce the same error with API key. Everything works as expected with RestAPI client but the problem only appears when I am using the library.
I was doubting that some role/permission was missing on the service account I am using with the library but I have confirmed it with two different service accounts and error is reproducible in both cases.

I have noticed one more thing that if projects/ is not project_name, we get the same error.

I don't understand - were you not following the pattern projects/your_project_name when passing the project name?

[ocervell]

Just had the same, your project_id might just be wrong for this call. Unfortunately the error message is so misleading that you have to try it in the REST API to get the full list of errors.

I created new service account, added recaptcha-related roles to the service account and that worked. While testing the new account, I found the issue that projects/ is necessary. This is not clear in the guide here.

Unfortunately the error message is so misleading that you have to try it in the REST API to get the full list of errors.

Yes, this is an issue. It makes debugging so difficult. I have not run into this issue with REST API at all.
One more thing to mention here, the data model for RestAPI is different from the data model in library, for example, Rest API does not include risk_analysis unlike python-recaptcha-enterprise library. So, there no intuitive direct mapping between Rest API and library's functionality.

I'm going to close this issue as obsolete as details is now populated with more helpful information showing "Invalid Parent resource name <PROJECT_ID>" instead of "Request contains an invalid argument".

In addition, the docstring of CreateAssessmentRequest mentions that the format of the parent field should be projects/{project}.
