I am trying to send a POST request via the Google Indexing API, but keeps getting HTTP erro 403 (Forbidden).
My code is below:
require_once '../google-api-php-client-2.2.2/vendor/autoload.php';
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setDeveloperKey('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
$client->setAuthConfig('xxxxxxxxxxxxx.json');
$client->addScope('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/indexing');
$httpClient = $client->authorize();
$endpoint = 'https://indexing.googleapis.com/v3/urlNotifications:publish?key=xxxxxxxxxx';
$content = "{
\"url\": \"https://www.example.com/whatever.html\",
\"type\": \"URL_UPDATED\"
}";
$response = $httpClient->post($endpoint, [ 'body' => $content ]);
$status_code = $response->getStatusCode();
die('I am done...: ' . $status_code);
My full response is as follows:

I understand what "Forbidden" means, but I can't understand WHY I am getting the error. I have followed the instructions for setting up. I have set up the API key. I have even set it with no restrictions to start with (of course I will restrict it later), I have set up the service account keys, the json file exists where I call it (without it, I get a 401 error, not 403) and looking at the help for using API keys, I am passing the key correctly.
What am I missing?
