API security issue when searching a space for documents using keyword

Hi All. I’m a seasoned C# developer who is tyring ot use the Atlassian API to search a space for a document using a keyword. I created an API key, but I’m getting the “Forbidden” error when making a query. Once a key is created, is there any additional rights that needs to be assigned to a space before you can search it? I’m not seeing anything in the documentation about it. Thanks!

Hello @Dwhapham

You’ve not provided any information about which product’s API endpoint you are attempting to access, the format of the API request, the authentication method, what documentation you’re referencing, what tests you’ve done outside your C# code using an API test tool or what debugging efforts you’ve made yourself. Without this, it’s not possible to provide much assistance.

Refer to the How to ask a good question thread for guidance on the minimum information you’ll need to supply.
