Visa Payments Processing API (VPP) authorization error

[xtoswanepoel]

I am having issues with getting the VPP API to work in the sandbox. I finally manged to get the MLE NodeJS example to work, but now when making a request to the endpoint, it responds with:

{"msgIdentfctn":{"correlatnId":"Gg6yTAyWkmhyq0jPKHziafe","reqstId":"434EA90F77353009314991B279573F02"},"error":{"code":"403","msg":"Forbidden"}}

I am using the Authorizations v3 example body instead of the code example's given body, and I am making the request to the https://sandbox.api.visa.com/acs/v3/payments/authorizations endpoint.

MLE works as intended, as I am unable to decrypt the server's response. This likely means that my credentials are correct. Also, the Authorization part of the VPP API is open to all, so I should be able to access it. I do not understand why it returns 403: Forbidden.

Any help is appreciated
