Why is the API giving me a 403 Forbidden? (lemmy.ml)

I'm toying about with writing a client in Rust.

Example code online uses the API endpoint https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/post/list, and when I go to this link in a browser, it doe indeed load data. However, when I try to load it from a program, it gives me a 403 Forbidden. Does anyone know why this could be?

Ah I'll try that, thanks. This is unrelated, but is it normal for my project folder for this to have 3GB, given that these are my dependencies?:

lemmy_api_common = "0.18.2"
reqwest = "0.11.18"
tokio = "1.29.1"

I'm quite new to rust and I realize that some languages don;t share dependencies between projects

The target folder may be quite large. You can look at the dependencies for my project but my end binary is only a few MB.
