Research direction

Start in src/components/YoastSchemaExample/index.js and reproduce the issue by opening the linked functional specification and clicking “Test & modify in the Schema.org Validator.” Inspect the POST request and its 403 response. Done means the Schema.org Validator accepts the submitted snippets from the documentation examples again.

Description

bug

It seems that our method of POSTing snippets to validator.schema.org no longer works. We instead receive a 403 error.

See e.g. https://developer.yoast.com/features/schema/functional-specification/ and click on "Test & modify in the Schema.org Validator".

The code resides in src/components/YoastSchemaExample/index.js.
