Getting 403 error while running endpoint on the documentation page itself
Hello Team,
I wanted to experiment with new API version but when a ran the entries endpoint on the documentation page, I get 403 error. I didn't make any changes to API Key or ID since they get pre-filled automatically.
Could I please know why is it going wrong, should I register for new key and id?
Thanks!

Hello Team,
I had same problem.
I logged in ,and in this website:
https://developer.oxforddictionaries.com/documentation#!/Entries/get_entries_source_lang_word_id
I clicked the "try it out!", the Response Body is : Authentication failed(autofill my app_id and app_key)
Thank you!
And, my program which use same appid and appkey works correct （API V1）。
Hello,
I am experiencing the same problem. I just created a prototype level developer's account. When testing my credentials at https://developer.oxforddictionaries.com/our-data#!/word/get_word_id I get a 403 Forbidden Response Code. (The same thing happens when I test it in the application). When I use the generic credentials supplied when you originally load the above page, the "Try it Out" gives a successful response (Code 200).
I triple checked the app_id and app_key are correct. I tried creating a second app_key. And I tried using both the V1 and V2 endpoints when testing within my app--both got 403 Response Codes.
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Hello @lrosenshine14
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is actually a different dictionary dataset to the English dictionary included in our Oxford Dictionaries API (the OED is a historical record of English, while the Oxford Dictionaries API contains our current English dictionary datasets). The OED API on the Our Data page is a prototype only at the moment, and the documentation is there to allow users to experiment with what it might be useful for. It cannot be used to make a ‘real’ call at present.
That is the link for OD-API documentation
