Doug Casebolt asked 6 months ago

Using the the Formidable Forms API with on WP site hosted at Wordpress.com I am trying to write entries into an existing form from an outside source.  I am receiving the following json back. 
{"code":"rest_forbidden_context","message":"Sorry, you are not allowed to create entries","data":{"status":403}}
I am using the following endpoint:
https://mysite.com/wp-json/frm/v2/forms/18/entries
I have verified that I am passing the correct api key.
I have installed the Formidable Logs add-on but it only seems to track the outbound actions.
I tried temporarily disabling my site security and still get the same error.  I also tried this from Postman and am getting the same error. 
Thoughts?  Is there a snippet I need to add to allow the endpoint to be written too?
Thanks.

Did you ever manage to find a fix for this? I am getting exactly the same problem, would be good to know how you fixed this. Also if this wasn't fixed has anyone else got any suggestions as to how to get around to above problem?

I am sorry , no I did not.  The project for which this was aimed, was dropped and I never had to pursue it further, hopefully someone has an answer for you, I would be interested to know what it was if you do get one.

Ah damn that's a shame, I can't figure out how to fix this one!

Have you tried on a site that isn’t hosted on Wordpress.com?  I wonder if this is a server issue.
