403 - Request Not Satisfied

[MatthewO571]

Recently, I've been working on utilizing third-party API Calls to attempt to reach my Contact List with Constant Contact. In the future, I'd like to be able to PUT and POST as well, but currently, while attempting a GET, I am only receiving this 403 Error. The authentication was successful and I have the auth code, but I cannot seem to reach the API. Thanks.

Hello  MatthewO571,

Thank you for reaching out to Constant Contact API Developer Support. My team is here to assist outside software developers with questions about building into Constant Contact's API.

We'd be happy to take a look with you regarding what could be causing the error response.

I noticed  that in the screenshot you provided, you have a value labeled "access_token_auth_code". The access token and the auth code are two different values. The auth code returned after granting access is used to make another call which exchanges the auth code for your access token and refresh token.

If you continue to run into issues, could you please provide us [securely by email at webservices@constantcontact.com referencing case 32402432] with your full authorization request(s) , including URL, headers, timestamp, and the full response body so that we can better assist you in identifying the root cause of the issue?

Please have a look and let us know if you have any other questions!

To my knowledge, that value is only the Token name and thusly shouldn't affect the call unless I am misunderstanding something.

As for the requested data:
There is a screen shot attached including the response body, the Get request as well as the URL. Time stamps are over the last two days, and finally, a screenshot including the headers will be added.
