  # WordPress username and password
          username = "s113488"
          password = "xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx"
          print(
              base64.b64encode(f"{username}:{password}".encode("utf-8")).decode("utf-8")
          )
          # Open the image file in binary mode
          with open(result["Featured Image"], "rb") as img:
              # Prepare the headers for the REST API request
              headers = {
                  "Content-Disposition": f'attachment; filename={os.path.basename(result["Featured Image"])}',
                  "Content-Type": "image/png",  # Adjust this if your images are not PNGs
                  "Authorization": "Basic "
                  + base64.b64encode(f"{username}:{password}".encode("utf-8")).decode(
                      "utf-8"
                  ),
              }
  
              # Send the POST request to the WordPress REST API
              response = requests.post(
                  f"https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/sites/reviewpass.wordpress.com/media/new",
                  headers=headers,
                  data=img,
              )
  
          # If the request was successful, the image ID will be in the response
          if response.status_code == 201:
              image_id = response.json()["id"]
          else:
              print(f"Error uploading image: {response.status_code}")
  

  This is my code. I got my password from https://wordpress.com/me/security/two-step

  which gives me an application password.

  and I requested with my username and password. but Response is always “Error uploading image: 403” Is it because I’m using a free plan?
