403 on API endpoints (lemmy.readme.io)

Tried to use several different API endpoints as described in the link, but they all return 403 with a cloudflare "Just a moment..." html reply. Even tried copying an existing jwt token from a working logged-in browser but the same thing still happens.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

curl -v --request POST \
     --url https://programming.dev/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"username_or_email": "redacted", "password": "redacted"}'
...
< HTTP/2 403
...

<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en-US"><head><title>Just a moment...</title>

then what is the point of allowing bots on lemmy if they can't work?

Bots on Lemmy are allowed, that's why the API exists.
Bots on programming.dev seems are not allowed since all endpoints require to pass CF.
