Hello @mohamedvalith ,
As the request is failing with a 403 Forbidden error, which indicates that the API is rejecting the credentials or blocking the request from n8n.
To proceed, could you please confirm the following so we can narrow down the issue:
Are the correct API credentials/scopes enabled for this request?
Has the n8n server IP been allow-listed on your side (if required by your firewall/WAF)?
Are there any restrictions on the HTTP method or endpoint being called?
Once we have this information, we can validate the setup and help resolve the issue quickly.

thanks for your response, it is not even gone to the figma call. it is getting failed in the connection establishment to AEM local instance node itself.
i am try to achieve it using my n8n local setup. and i was removed all figma related nodes and try to run workflow to establish connection to AEM local and create a page. but that also getting failed.

When using n8n to connect to your local AEM instance (AEMaaCS SDK) and automate tasks like creating pages, a 403 Forbidden error usually means authentication is missing or incorrect.
Recommended for Local Testing:
thanks for your reply. i am tried your suggessions. basic authontication was getting proper responce. instead of using postman i am try to trigger it from terminal using below.
curl -u admin:admin \
-F"jcr:primaryType=cq:Page" \
-F"jcr:content/jcr:primaryType=cq:PageContent" \
-F"jcr:content/jcr:title=My New Page" \
-F"jcr:content/sling:resourceType=myapp/components/page" \
-F"jcr:content/cq:template=/conf/myapp/settings/wcm/templates/page-template" \
http://localhost:4502/content/mysite/my-new-page
above command work find in terminal. and creates new page as per given conffiguration. but while create a n8n node for the same it getting failed.
foollowing is the error log:

Try looking at your AEM error logs, it may give you additional information. The following error log looks like its coming from your n8n application.
