Curl REST API - {"message":"Current user not permitted to use Confluence","statusCode":403}

Senthil Prasanth
January 27, 2022

Hello Experts,

I am recently exploring confluence REST APIs. I was trying examples at https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-rest-api-examples/

So I created a my free sample Space & Confluence Page at Atlassian cloud https://userid.atlassian.net/

When I tried using curl GET example I am getting 

{
"message": "Current user not permitted to use Confluence",
"statusCode": 403
}

I referred all the examples & Suggestions given at below links but couldn't able to figure out the issue. If you could help me out in understanding and showing me the direction that would be great.
