Forbidden Content

Definition:

The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request should not be repeated

Automation:

IF you receive forbidden content notifications

FORBIDDEN Such content exists within the API for internal FT.com product use, however, the content is restricted externally

THEN create a logic rule within your application or service to skip 403 Forbidden content automatically

The following information shows what a forbidden content notification looks like

403 Forbidden - You are attempting to access restricted (forbidden) content

Note: Forbidden content notifications take place when an article retrieval is attempted using Content or Enriched Content endpoints, however, the subsequent response states that you are attempting to access restricted (forbidden) content. For example, FT.com may be displaying content from Bloomberg or Reuters, which cannot be syndicated further via the FT API.Additionally, some keys are restricted to view only content that can be syndicated, even if it is FT content. (This is a new feature)
