Download Tool - Error with Eurostat Data (JSON Web Services)

[JFoster]

I have been trying to obtain data from the Eurostat website using their JSON web services and the Download Tool within Alteryx. 

However, I keep on getting the error: HTTP/1.1·502·Bad·Gateway, with the request being blocked for security reasons. Has anyone been successful in downloading this data? I used the following URL within the Download Tool: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/wdds/rest/data/v2.1/json/en/nama_gdp_c?precision=1&geo=EU28&unit=EUR_HA...

This URL works when I paste into a standard webpage - loading the data in JSON.

Hope someone can help!

All the best,

The site blocks the request. Not quite sure why as a data end point!

Usual trick of User-Agent spoofing fixes it.
