WordPress Plugin with Postman

• Chris Hynes states, "Usually this 403 issue where they are passing valid creds and getting a WAF error page means they're not passing User-Agent in their code which is required. Postman passes it automatically."

• Robin Michael suggests the following:

Data Format 
Everything is JSON, and requires Content-Type: application/json and/or Accept: application/json headers. 

Use a user agent header to identify yourself on all calls. For example: User-Agent: My Acme App.

• Robin Michael also suggests the following:

I was able to post your sample data, but looking at your code you are not setting the User-Agent correctly check my PHP example at the end and I use the same format as your other headers in the array but you are doing this
'User-Agent' => 'Staging App' which is not going to work
