Describe the problem/error/question
I’m new to n8n and not a coder, just trying to set things up with help from AI [ I follow AI to ad header]. However, I keep getting a 403 Forbidden error when I use the HTTP Request or RSS Read node to fetch data from websites.
I followed a tutorial on YouTube and copy-pasted the exact same feed links (e.g. https://www.blognone.com/feed/), but instead of getting results, I only get the 403 error.
What I’ve tried so far:
-
Adding a User-Agent header+value(Mozilla/5.0)
-
Enabling Ignore SSL
Unfortunately, none of these worked. I’m not sure if these websites are blocking n8n automation scrapping or if I’m missing something (since the tutorial didn’t run into this error]
What is the error message (if any)?
Forbidden - perhaps check your credentials?
403 Forbidden nginx/1.20.0
Status code 403
