Question :

Why am I'm receiving an error 403 when trying to send a REST request to any of the Oracle REST APIs?

Summary of the question:

Below is a sample request that I'm using:

curl -u 'Basic **********' \
     -H 'Accept: application/json' \
     -H 'X-Forwarded-For: 5.16.X.X'
     'https://generic_instance.etadirect.com/rest/ofscCore/v1/activities/123456'

The response I receive it:

You don't have permission to access "http://generic_instance.etadirect.com/rest/ofscCore/v1/activities/123456" on this server.
