Trying to see my Canvas page view history

Hello, I am a student using Canvas. I was wanting to find my page view history via the API for a certain period of time. What I did was 1) make a token with my account and then 2) input the command https://<myschool>.com/api/v1/users/<userID>/page_views onto the browser search tab. However, when I do this, I got this error:

{"status":"unauthorized","errors":[{"message":"user not authorized to perform that action"}]}

 However, I am only searching for my page views, so I am confused as to why i am getting access denied, and how I can see my views. Any help is appreciated.

Howdy,

EDIT: It is a permissions issue. Students do not have access to pageviews. To get this, you will need to contact your institutions Canvas admin team or by submitting a Canvas help ticket.
