'InsufficientScopes' error while trying to create shortcut through Fabric REST API
Something definitely has changed in Fabric since yesterday. I faced a similar issue yesterday while retrieving connections information through FabricRestClient. The code was working fine until the previous day.
The way I got around it to explicitly initialize token using notebookutils.getToken and pass that in request headers. Your code does this for list_shortcuts whereas for create_sbortcuts it is not passing the explicit header. Initialize and add the request header to your create shortcuts method and it may work.

Good call ! I'll give it a try as soon as possible and get back to you 😉.
