unable to access user_uploads images

I have implemented zulip chat in my web app with zulip-js. I have uploaded images from chat with zulip api but while accessing in web with url i am getting 403 error.

Hi @lgsandy -- when you say "accessing in the web," do you mean you're trying to get your images outside of Zulip by navigating directly to one of those URLs?

I am fetching chat from zulip wth zulip-js and in that i am getting image url that url is showing 403.

Got it. And you're doing that locally? Are you certain that the web server has read access to the location where the files are uploaded?

[lgsandy]

Yes in local. After logged in in zulip app in same browser that url is working.But through zulip-js lib it is not accessing.
