Do developers need admin permissions to use Splunk SDK C#?

I am new to Splunk SDK. what permissions do developers need to use SDK. I only have regular user permission to create searches and I got "Unable to connect to the remote server" "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" when I use the credential to connect to the service and pull search results though SDK.

I can connect to the service URL through browser but not through SDK. what might be the reasons? permissions? firwall? Any advice would be appreciated.

Here is the code I was trying to run

ServiceArgs svcArgs = new ServiceArgs();
svcArgs.Host = ""; // I did put host in my actual code.
svcArgs.Port = 61099;

        // Create a Service instance and log in 
        Service service = new Service(svcArgs);

        foreach (var app in service.GetApplications().Values)
        {
            System.Console.WriteLine(app.Label);
        }

The Splunk SDK work as wrapper around Splunk REST API and it needs admin access.
