I just created my account in Qunatopian for the first time. Every time I try to access Notebooks I'm getting a 403 : Forbidden error. It would be really helpful if someone can guide me how to fix this. Thank you.
@Akhil Reddy Bora First off, welcome to Quantopian but sorry you are having issues accessing notebooks.
A 403 error in notebooks is typically a browser settings issue. Quantopian's research environment relies on third party cookies and cross site tracking to protect user's intellectual property. Those two features must be enabled in your browser. Not having these enabled can cause issues. Additionally, for much the same reason, one cannot access notebooks from an 'incognito' window.
Here are some browser specific instructions to maybe get research working:
Chrome: In preferences, find the cookies menu. Enable the switch that says "Allow sites to save and read cookie data (Recommended)",
and disable the "Block third party cookies" switch.
Firefox: In preferences, find the cookies and site data menu. Check the box that says "Accept cookies and site data from websites"
and make sure the box that blocks Third-Party Cookies is unchecked.
Safari: In preferences, go to the privacy menu. Make sure cross site tracking is unchecked.
If none of these things work, try disabling all extensions, and re-enabling them one a time to find which one is causing issues. If you find one that is causing the Quantopian site to break, try whitelisting Quantopian.com and Dynoquant.com. Those are the two domains that Quantopian uses.
There may be other issues with your network or computer firewall or simply that your browser is not refreshing after settings were changed and working from cache. If all else fails contact Quantopian support (the link at the bottom of this page).
Hope that helps!
