Question

Lightroom API catalog request returns Error 404

I'm working with Lightroom Classic and I synchronize some collections with the cloud. Everything works fine, I can access these cloud based photos using a browser. Now I would like to access these cloud photos using the Lightroom API. I can successfully authorize/login using OAuth2 and get an access token, but the catalog request (https://lr.adobe.io/v2/catalog) always returns error 404.
What is the problem? Does the Lightroom API not work with Lightroom Classic synchronized collections? Do I need the Lightroom Cloud version?

Thanks for help.
Kurt

There may not be anybody expert in the Lightroom API in this forum (or any Adobe forum, for that matter). Years ago I started playing with it, but it was quite crippled in its capabilities and I couldn't find any Adobe forum where an employee (or anyone knowledgable) would answer questions.  I don't know if that's changed since, but I suspect not.
