We had faced this issue in our production when we used Kong as our api gateway. Our requests passed thro when initiated from Postman but failed with 403 when initiated via Code. The Bot plugin in Kong was enabled which only allowed requests initiated from Browser or Mobile App based on the user agent header value.Our requests initiated via Http Client failed. Once we disabled the bot plugin then the error didnt occur. It now allows request if the user-agent is Apache-HttpClient/4.5.2 (Java/1.8.0_91).
