# API_ACCESS_NOT_ENABLED

> API access isn't turned on for your agency.

`403 Forbidden` · type `permission`

**When it happens**

Bridgeline hasn't enabled API access for your agency yet, or it has been turned off. During the beta, API access is by invitation. When it's off, every key your agency holds gets this answer.

**What to do**

Contact your Bridgeline contact. Links to interactive quotes you've already sent keep working while access is off; see [links outlive API access](/guides/hosted-quote-page#links-outlive-api-access).

## Example

```json 403 Forbidden theme={null}
{
  "error": {
    "type": "permission",
    "code": "API_ACCESS_NOT_ENABLED",
    "message": "API access is not enabled for this agency. Contact Bridgeline.",
    "doc_url": "https://docs.bridgelinepf.com/errors#API_ACCESS_NOT_ENABLED",
    "request_id": "req_8fJ2kQ9xLm4TzW7nB3cY5pDv"
  }
}
```
