[Creating Dataset Version is not working] - Permission denied

[ai-nikolai]

@rosbo Hi Kagglehub team,

Problem:
Just a quick note. I am trying to upload stuff using the kagglehub.upload_dataset() function. Uploading once works very well and everything goes smoothly. Uploading a second time (using the same code), throws a permission denied error.

Specifically:

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://www.kaggle.com/api/v1/datasets/create/version/...

It seems like this function does not work:

kagglehub/src/kagglehub/datasets_helpers.py

Line 27 in 38395f0

def _create_dataset_version(

---

Expected outcome:
Running kagglehub.upload_dataset() twice would create a new version of the dataset, instead of throwing an error.

Let me know what the issue might be and how to remedy it.

Hi @ai-nikolai,

I am having trouble reproducing the issue. I can create multiple versions of the same dataset with kagglehub.dataset_upload(...): https://www.kaggle.com/code/rosebv/kagglehub-issues-181-dataset-version-upload-fail/notebook?scriptVersionId=207131830

Which version of kagglehub are you using? You can run:

import kagglehub

print(kagglehub.__version__)

Thank you

Finally, I have been able to reproduce.

You must wait until the first version finish processing (happens async after kagglehub.dataset_upload(...) returns) before you can upload a second version. For subsequent versions, you can have multiple request in parallel.
