'Client error forbidden' clarifies that the server (Nominatim) understands the request but refuses to fulfill it due to a lack of permissions or authorization. It's not an error in the request's format (like a 400 Bad Request), but rather a restriction imposed by the server. The client (your application) needs to adjust its behavior to comply with Nominatim's rules.
