403 Forbidden Error

Hi there

Since 2018, we have an application that accesses the Companies House API to pull data. It stopped working earlier this week, although nothing has changed at our end.

We keep getting:

403 Forbidden

Can you advise, if there are problems with the API service at the moment, and also confirm that our application is not being blocked.

Thanks

Brian

We’ve also been getting 403 forbidden intermittently over the last week.

We’ve inspected the response logs and 200 responses have a server header with the value CompaniesHouse but the 403 responses have a server header with the value awselb/2.0

Nothing has changed at our end.

Interestingly, since I reported this earlier today, it started working for us, and we have not had any more 403 errors.
