I have followed the walkthrough to add a NY Times app to Splunk and that works fine as documented here :
http://dev.splunk.com/view/addon-builder/SP-CAAAFCD
I have tried similar using the Guardian API - i get the following issue when running the test on the 'edit data input' page ..
2017-04-21 01:57:53,716 - test_theguardian - [ERROR] - [test] The response status=403 for request which url=https://content.guardianapis.com/search?q=monaco&api-key=XXX and method=GET.
So went to cmd line and that failed - but i resolved this by adding '' around the URI like so :
*** SNIPPET ***
[splunk@centos-6-1 splunk_app_add_on_builder]$ curl -k 'https://content.guardianapis.com/search?q=monaco&api-key=XXX'
