Failed to retrieve data. HTTP Status: 403

[Tbma1]

import requests
import json

google_api_key = 'my api key'

url = 'https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-pro:generateContent?key=' + google_api_key

data = {
"contents": [{
"parts": [{
"text": "Write a story about a magic backpack."
}]
}]
}

headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
"User-Agent" : "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))

if response.status_code == 200:
print("Response from server:", response.json())
else:
print("Failed to retrieve data. HTTP Status:", response.status_code)

What should i do to solve my problem with HTTP Status: 403?

Hi, can you provide more information and print out what the error details, if any, you see?

Hi, there's nothing wrong with your code, it works fine for me.

Are you sure your API key is good and that you're in an available region?
