Hi,

Unfortunelty, its not an issue i can replicate, however, assuming the url is correct, then the issue is possibly on cdn side, it might be flagging the downloader as DOS attempt, i can only specult as to why, but it could just be due to the used user agent.

I change the user agent hardcore and it works ... Thanks

can you give me a some help on this? I am getting the same error now and not sure what you mean when you changed the user agent to hardcore. Thank you

edit: Sorry I'm trying to use apikey to get info https://api.thegamesdb.net/v1/Games/ByG ... *****&id=4

I can only guess they meant "to hardcode useragent".

A 403 Forbidden error typically indicates that the server understood the request, but it refuses to authorize access to the requested resource. There could be several reasons why you are experiencing this issue when trying to download an image from the URL you provided.
