Pastebin [HTTP 403 (Forbidden)]

[MattyDevs]

So today I started to get this error. Possible for HttpService to be down?

Code:

spawn(function()
	while task.wait(1) do
		local INFO = nil
		local success, errorr = pcall(function()
			INFO = Pastebin.RequestPermission()
		end)
		if success then
			if INFO ~= nil then
				_G.Permissions = INFO
			end
		elseif not success then
			warn("❌ [Main]: Failed to get permissions from pastebin.", errorr)
		end
	end
end)

Module:

function Pastebin.RequestPermission()
	return HttpService:JSONDecode(game:GetService("HttpService"):GetAsync(URL))
end

HTTP 403 means the request was blocked because it’s unauthorized/server denied it

These errors started to happen only today. Maybe something is wrong with roblox?

It’s not on Roblox’s end. From what I gathered online, getting an HTTP 403 from pastebin means either the IP the request was sent from was blocked, or the link itself is private

Here’s another forum post I found about this:

I sometimes keep recieving this error: HTTP 403 (Forbidden)

It appears that you are decoding data from a Pastebin link using the HttpService to retrieve it as a JSON table. The server is giving a “Forbidden” response, which means that you are not authorized to access the resource at the provided URL, according to the error message “HTTP 403 (Forbidden)”. Several factors could be to blame for this error: You may need to enter the proper credentials in order to access the data if the URL you are attempting to access is password- or authentication-protect…

I switched up to GitHub instead, thanks for the help though!
