### 🎯 What is your goal?

Hello there,

I’m trying to connect my WordPress’s site with Make. A simple task : get list of pages on my site.

### 🤔 What is the problem?

I have a 403 : forbidden

### 🧪 What have you tried so far?

I’ve tried both with the WP’s node and HTTP Request node : same thing (Forbidden)

But the weird thing is if I try with N8N (with a HTTP Request node, same identification, same URLs) it works  
So I don’t think it is a setting at server’s level, is it ?

With Make : I’ve tried both 'Basic authentification ‘s creator’ and adding myself the header =\> Forbidden

I do’nt understand because it is a simple task and if it works with N8N, I don’t understand why it can’t with Make. Is there a special setting to add in the node ? Another header ? Body ?

Hope you can help me, have a nice day .

Welcome to the Make community!

To do this, you can try using the WordPress “ **Make an API Call** ” module —

> Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.

e.g.:

For more information about the “Make an API Call” module and the **WordPress** app, see the corresponding [Integrations page](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/wordpress?pc=samliew) and the [Help Centre documentation](https://apps.make.com/wordpress).

P.S.: investing some effort into the tutorials in the [Make Academy](https://academy.make.com) will save you lots of time and frustration using Make!
