Curl returns forbidden

but as result have Forbidden

Does it work in the interactive interface?

Well the problem is the requestBody.toString(). You have to add the params as query string params. E.g.

final HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
headers.set(“x-api-key”, “yourkey”);
final UriComponentsBuilder b = UriComponentsBuilder
.fromHttpUrl(“https://api.setlist.fm/rest/1.0/search/setlists”);
b.queryParam(“artistName”, “Springsteen”);
final String response = restTemplate
.exchange(b.toUriString(), HttpMethod.GET, new HttpEntity<>(headers), String.class).getBody();
System.out.println(response);

However you should have received a 404, not a 403. Just to be sure, where you wrote “key”, you actually used your api key, right?

Does it work using my suggested code changes?

I just registered today and I keep getting a 403 Forbidden on the interactive interface.

Ive tried using the basic 'GET /1.0/artist/{mbid}' whereby you you can only enter, whether you want the response in XML or JSON from the drop down box and enter the {mbid}. I chose either xml or json and I use 'The beatles' mbid (b10bbbfc-cf9e-42e0-be17-e2c3e1d2600d) given in the example but I get {“message”: “Forbidden”}. I get the same message when I use other mbid for different bands from the website.

My API Key: 2425e09c-78ce-4e5d-b458-b6b34bfaf307

Can you please help?

Oops my bad! Im new to APIs. I re-registered for an API key and got it working on the interactive interface but when I use the same mbid and api key whilst making a request from my local host I get a 403 every time :

fetch(
“https://api.setlist.fm/rest/1.0/artist/b10bbbfc-cf9e-42e0-be17-e2c3e1d2600d”,
{
mode: “no-cors”
headers: {
“x-api-key”: “{my newly registered API KEY}”,
Accept: “application/json”
}
}
);

Any ideas why it would throw up a 403. Is it because of local host? Is there more headers I should add in the request?

Nice I got it working on my command line, I didnt know what curl was either. Im brand new to all of this. So I can only access the setlist API from the command line and not using regular ajax/XMLHttpRequest?
