I am trying to send a GET request on the Postman App and I keep getting a 403 Forbidden error. How do I resolve this? I have Googled repeatedly however, none of the answers I have found so far are relevant to me. Any help is appreciated.

Probably you are not authorized to get a response, you need to check whether the requested URL doesn’t have any api-key’s etc.

Also, just because you do have authorization set up does not mean you get access to all of an APIs resources. It seems you do not have permission to access the resource you are trying to get to with your current authorization level. If you have control over permissions to the API, make sure to upgrade your access.
