Guys I am creating a blog app and when I try to use postman to test whet pit is working it says 403 forbidden. I am running this on my local machine so I should be authenticated right? I am using mern stack btw.
Hey @chaudr300, welcome to the community!
Running an API locally doesn’t mean you don’t have to authenticate. Do you know how your API authenticates? A 403 might mean there’s a bigger problem somewhere because that error indicates you’re trying to do something you aren’t allowed to do rather than simply “missing auth from the request”.
Would you be able to tell us a bit more about your setup?
