403 forbidden

I am trying to run a PHP script on Hostinger. My script is working fine on my local server but over Hostinger, script is throwing 403 forbidden error. I have checked for CURL (enabled) on hostinger.
This is my code.
public function getdata($url='http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/ontheair?apikey=####&page=1'){
$ch = curl_init();
$ua = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.29 Safari/537.36";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $ua);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
"Content-Type: application/json",
"Accept: application/json"
));
$this->response = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump(curl_getinfo($ch) );
var_dump(curl_error($ch) );
var_dump(curl_errno($ch) );
curl_close($ch);
var_dump($this->response);
$obj = json_decode($this->response);
$results = $obj->{'results'};
return $results;
}

Hi console0hack,
The API key parameter is actually
api_key(note the underscore). Are you settingapikeyorapi_key?Other than that (could have just been a paste issue) I'm not sure if I see anything else wrong… we don't do anything other than check the API key. There's no difference on our end whether you connect from localhost or a server. Enabling some more verbose logging would probably help.

Sorry, it was just a copy paste mistake. I am using $url = "http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/on_the_air?api_key=####&page=1" ,and this is working fine on local server but in case of remote server (hostinger) it is throwing 403. Is there any chance that Hostinger is blacklisted?
I have tried by enabling verbose logging too but no help. It returned
Verbose information:
< HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden < Content-Type: text/html < Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 07:14:26 GMT < Server: nginx < Content-Length: 564 < Connection: keep-alive <

Hi console0hack,
Maybe… what's the IP of the server you're connecting from? We do have some IP blocks in place from users who have in the past, abused our service. I'll need the IP to check though.

I am using shared hosting at www.hostinger.in. And I think IP is 31.170.163.241 or 31.220.23.1

I am using shared hosting at http://www.hostinger.in/ and my server IP is 185.28.20.18. I want to know if it is blocked. And if it is blocked is there any way around that I can use your
API from this server?

Hi console0hack,
Sorry for the delay. I was waiting for one of our guys to get back from vacation.
Indeed, the 31.220.x.x and 185.28.x.x IP ranges are some of the IPs we have blocked. Unfortunately there won't be anything we can do. You're free to move to another host of course, but we have blocked these because of massive abuse histories and won't be unblocking them.
Cheers.
