Hi I am trying to make an Android app that uses this, I am doing something like

var url = "https://api.weather.gov/points/39.7456,-97.0892"
val jsonObjectRequest = object: JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, url, null,
                Response.Listener { response ->
                    binding.textView.text = "Response: %s".format(response.toString())
                },
                Response.ErrorListener { binding.textView.text = "That didn't work!" }
            )
            {
                @Throws(AuthFailureError::class)
                override fun getHeaders(): Map<String, String> {
                    val headers = HashMap<String, String>()
                    headers.put("Content-Type", "application/json")
                    headers.put("UserAgent", System.getProperty("http.agent"))
                    return headers
                }
            }
            queue.add(jsonObjectRequest)

but I keep getting 403 error

403 typically means it was rejected by our CDN, likely from a missing user agent. Given you attempted to provide one, we need the CDN error code that is returned in the 403 body.

The problem is that the user agent is too generic and getting lumped into a security rule to thwart abuse. You will have better results if you set the user agent to a string that represents your app/contact, a few examples:

WeatherView/1.0 (weatherview.com)
WeatherView/1.0 ([email protected])

This also provides a means to contact you if for some reason your application triggers a security rule. (Eventually, this will be replaced by API keys, but that is not our current priority.)
