#1096 DeepL API returns 403:Forbidden

[Konstantin Zorin]

Hey folks!

• Using free DeepL API key returns 403: Forbidden in OmegaT MT window:
• Create DeepL API key
• go to OmegaT Preferences > Machine Translation > DeepL > Configure
• paste API key, with Store for this session only tickbox unchecked
• skip setting up a unique password (allow OmegaT create&store it itself)
• try using DeepL in a project, and have 403: Forbidden in the MT window.

I have tested API key with a simple curl script and it is working just fine.
I am using OmegaT 5.7.1 Latest, on win10

Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

I've also had a similar (or the same) issue recently calling DeepL Pro (with API key) from a Groovy script in OmegaT that uses RESTClient, but it works from curl and httpie and other Python apps. Could it be that DeepL is blocking requests from OmegaT?

A 403 error is generally a server access error. Can you reproduce?

DeepL permit to use its API other than CAT tools for its free and pro account.

It is not a issue in OmegaT side.
