Getting HTTP Error 403 Forbidden when making call to GitLab server using Python code

I have written a small Python code to get the Storage usage of a GitLab repository. However when I run my code then I get this 403 Forbidden error. This repo, say test_repo_1 is under a test_group_1. I have created the token with Maintainer role both at project level and at the group level (group access token) and used them separately in my Python script individually to run the code but get the same result as 403.

Python code:-

import gitlab

GITLAB_URL = "https://gitlab.com"

GL_GROUP_TOKEN = '<Group token & Project access token>'

def grant_access(gl_project_id):
    gl = gitlab.Gitlab(GITLAB_URL, private_token = GL_GROUP_TOKEN)
    project = gl.projects.get(gl_project_id)    
    storage = project.storage.get()
    print("storage::",storage)

def main():
    gl_project_id='8724648'    
    role_requested=''
    grant_access(gl_project_id)

main()

Error log:-

python3 storage.py

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

    main()
  File "storage.py", line 18, in main
