Is this on your own site, or one you're trying to access?
Please elaborate.

To really solve such a problem, you need to provide more information about the environment and the context. There is no such a 1 shot solution for those kind of errors.
If you could elaborate as @mothered said we could try to help you.

On a general note it likely means their site is down or something is up with your firewall if you have one.
RE: I am getting a 403 Forbidden error. - mothered - 09-10-2018
What's the exact error message?
For example:
* HTTP 403
* 403 Forbidden
* Forbidden: You do not have permission to access this directory on this server
* Error 403 Forbidden
And so forth.

no, that's not true. 404 and 500 are generally used if the website is down. 401 and 403 are used to tell the receiving party that they either do not have the required credentials, are not authenticated at all, or are not allowed to access the specified resource.
generally speaking, if you're getting a 403, you're doing something that you're not supposed to and the client code isn't even receiving your requests (server software filter). If you're getting a 401, check your headers, you're likely missing the Authorization field.

Precisely.
Moreover, It can also be a WAF blocking requests.

If permissions have been set server-side/back-end, unless you have access to alter/modify the permissions, you cannot do anything solely from a client-side standpoint.
