Error: (gcloud.alpha.functions.deploy) ResponseError: status=[403], code=[Forbidden], message=[Cannot access Google Cloud Functions API in project

Question

I'm new using Google's APIs.

I'm following step by step the next tutorial made by Google: https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/tutorials/ocr

I want to deploy a specific function provided by Google (the processImage function).

I entered this into the console:

gcloud alpha functions deploy ocr-extract --stage-bucket [YOUR_STAGING_BUCKET_NAME] --trigger-bucket [YOUR_IMAGE_BUCKET_NAME] --entry-point processImage

But it gives me this error:

Error: (gcloud.alpha.functions.deploy) ResponseError: status=[403], code=[Forbidden], message=[Cannot access Google Cloud Functions API in project

Answer 1

I faced the same error. It got resolved once I did gcloud init in my command prompt terminal. Mentioned command linked my GCP project to the folder where my files were present. After that command mentioned by you worked.

Answer 2

You should Initialize the SDK first.

1. run gcloud init
2. config your login account and select your project name.
