Remember this is behind the basic auth that Jokeindex uses – make sure that you’re passing the same Authorization: Basic xxx that we did in one of the first policies we attached (Add Auth Header in the AssignMessage policy). You’ll have to add that to the header of the callout just like you would have to add it to hitting any resource at jokeindex.com/services/20/api

Hope that helps.

Thank you Michael ! I had put a incorrect Authorization Basic in my service callout code.
