RapidAPI Error Code 403

[MrStack]

Hi All

When I try to use ScrapeNinja, I am forced to create a RapidAPI connection, I enter my RapidAPI Key and get a 403 error
Can anyone help, I haven’t used RapidAPI before

1. Is there some special setup I have to use?
2. Do I have to use a RapidAPI API, I just want to scrape data from a URL

Thanks
Gar

1.

On the ScrapeNinja page on RapidAPI,

Click Pricing, and click Subscribe on the plan you wish to subscribe to

2.

On the Apps page, click on the shield icon for Authorization

3.

Copy the API key into the RapidAPI key field

@karimzynera

did exactly that but it still gives me 403 error

Then you must have done something incorrectly, try deleting your connection and try again. Alternatively, you might have ran out of credits, simply upgrade to the next tier.

How to call an API on RapidAPI

Use the HTTP “Make an API Key Auth Request” module.

Create a new keychain connection and insert your RapidAPI API Key.

Key: <YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY>
API Key parameter name: X-RapidAPI-Key

You can reuse this RapidAPI keychain for all API calls to RapidAPI, you’ll just need to change the X-RapidAPI-Host value based on the API you are calling.
