Hi @femi2k11 - welcome to the community :slight_smile:

Have you double checked your authentication/authorization?

Hi Hannah,

I have. Used basic auth with my username and password

Hi @femi2k11,
Did you resolved the above issue, I am getting the same issue when I tried to do the PUT

Hi , Welcome to our Community

I am curious about the API you are working with to update with PUT, Usually you get this error for one of two reasons.

  • The first is that the owners of the webserver have properly set up access permissions and that you’re really not allowed access to the resource.
  • The second reason is that the owners of the webserver have improperly set up permissions and you’re getting denied access when you really shouldn’t be.

I’m wondering if it could be due to some authorization , or issues with the webserver itself
