Access Denied Error Message

I am interacting with the Giftcard API creating giftcards

Here is the data I am sending:

{
“gift_card”: {
“note”: “Generated”,
“initial_value”: “10.00”,
“code”: “SMP-fyhcowspunwy”,
“template_suffix”: “null”
}
}

to /admin/api/2023-07/gift_cards.json

I receive this as a response

{“errors”:“Access denied”}

My access token seems to be fine because if I change it to something incorrect I get a different error. I have permission for the giftcard scopes in the admin panel.

I am not sure what I am missing
