Google Indexing API - 403 'Forbidden Response'

Question

I am making a call to the google indexing API for job postings:

private $client;
private $httpClient;

public function initClient($kernel)
{
    $this->cl

Adding to @Glennstar's comment and @JMs reply there is no longer the old version link (perhaps I never had the old version) but if you click the 3 vertical dots to the right of user owner '(you)' and select 'manage property owners' then on the next page click each of the 'verification details' links to the right of your domain variations (example.com, http://www.example.com, https://www.example.com etc or whatever you have) and add the owner ie paste in the gserviceaccount.com email address from the json it will then say ownership delegated by current owner to that email address as well.

Once status of that email address had changed from 'full' permission to 'owner' back on the search console page I could then run the call fine and the original 403 error about being unable to verify URL ownership was gone. Thanks guys, would have been clueless without this.
