I am currently using the SolarWinds rest API to extract Node information and all sorts of other data from the database. My scripts have been working fine until recently when I'm now receiving a 403 Forbidden message response from the server. The credentials I'm using are my admin credentials which I use for both the REST API as well as logging into the SW web UI. I've verified that my user credentials are fully equipped with admin rights across the board.
Does anyone know why I would all of a sudden have 403 forbidden responses for my REST API interfaces. I can login to the web UI with no problems at all. I'm assuming it's a security thing for REST API but I don't know what would have changed. Thanks in advance.
