HTTP GET suddenly returning 403 Forbidden (worked a few weeks ago)

(0) ShareShare

Hi everyone,

 

I’m running into an issue with an HTTP GET request in Power Automate. This flow used to work fine a few weeks ago, but now the same request consistently returns a 403 Forbidden error.

 

I already tried:


  • Adding a custom User-Agent header to avoid being detected as a bot

  • Testing different standard headers

  • Recreating the HTTP action



  •  

None of these attempts made any difference and I still get a 403 response.

 

Because the request used to work and nothing changed on my side, I suspect the target website may have recently added stricter bot detection, firewall rules, or IP blocking for cloud traffic.

 

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Do I need to add additional headers (cookies, referer, origin), or is it more likely that the site has started blocking Azure/Power Automate IP ranges?

 

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this or confirm the cause would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

    As you suspected, a 403 Forbidden error is returned by the remote server, so your GET request is being blocked by the source, not failing at Power Automate. You'll need to reach out to the owner of the server you're getting the content from and ask them about the error.
