Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
There are a few possible reasons why you might be seeing the 403 Forbidden error when trying to access the IndexNow. The most likely explanation is that the text file containing the API key has not been created automatically. This can be due to a plugin conflict.
For initial troubleshooting, please follow this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/fix-403-forbidden-error-indexnow/#change-api-key.
Let us know how it goes.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

Hello,
Thank you for providing a temporary admin login for us.
We checked and we noticed that your API key file is not created so we went ahead and manually created it.
Please try submitting a URL in the IndexNow console again and see if the issue persists from your end.
Let us know how that goes.
Looking forward to helping you.
