You are getting a 403. That is, you are not allowed to access that resource.
Are you supplying any value for Authorization in the headers?

If the same URL works in a browser, then it's probably using some kind of means
to prevent robots from getting at the content. It might be the referrer header
or it might be any of a number of other means that it's using to fingerprint
the request. I'd start by using the "copy as curl" feature in your browser to
create a curl request that is nearly identical to the browsers'. If that works,
then you could start removing items until you find the one (or more) that
they're keying on. If that doesn't work, then they may be using low-level means
for fingerprinting and you'll be forced to resort to more drastic means.
