Aren’t you trying to connect to the API using HTTP? Since last week the API is HTTPS-only.

Thanks, I will check it and let you know, there was one call for accessendpoint was in http only, after I changed it, it let me in.

According to the docs, all 403s will return “An accompanying error message”. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/error-codes-responses

Clearly this isn’t happening here. Would it be possible to update the API to make debugging easier?

Well a 403 forbidden is a good sign that this is a request that should be over HTTPS but is sent as HTTP. Please add the endpoint/url you are trying to reach, this will help us help you.
