It fails or it doesn't give you the data you wanted?

The remote site have lots of ways to fool a poor curl user. Some hints:

1. Perhaps it uses a Location: header and you don't use -L
2. Perhaps it wants cookies and you don't do -b properly
3. Perhaps it checks the referrer field and you don't do -E
4. Perhaps it checks the user-agent field and you don't do -A

... or it is a combination, or it is something else.

Fiddling with sites like this means a lot of research and trial and error.
Without lots of more information, we can't even start helping you...
