Assistance Required for "CannotGetPortalError" in Senaite API

Dear Senaite Community,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently encountering an issue with the Senaite JSON API where I am unable to retrieve the portal object. Specifically, when I attempt to interact with the API, I receive the following error message:

json

{
  "_runtime": 0.000879043069458007,
  "message": "Unable to get the portal object. More info on http://docs.plone.org/develop/plone.api/docs/api/exceptions.html#plone.api.exc.CannotGetPortalError",
  "success": false
}

I have followed the documentation and attempted to debug the instance using ./bin/instance -O Plone debug, but I have been unable to resolve the issue. Here are a few more details about my environment:

  • Senaite Version: 2.6.0 (running in Docker)
  • Plone: Installed within the Senaite instance
  • Accessing API URL: http://------/@@API/senaite/v1/client

I have confirmed that the API is active, and other basic routes like the version check are working correctly. However, whenever I try to access specific portal data like /client or /analysisrequest, I encounter this “CannotGetPortalError.”

I’ve made sure to check for user permissions, and I also tried using the debug shell in Zope but was unable to get the correct portal object using the methods I found online.

Could someone kindly guide me on what steps I should take to resolve this issue? Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time and help.
