Unable to get JSON response from URLConnection

I am trying to read a response from googleapi using java URLConnection.

In browser if i query "https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v2/runPagespeed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zauq.se&strategy=mobilez"

i gets response in JSON formate.

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "global",
    "reason": "invalidParameter",
    "message": "Invalid string value: 'mobilez'. Allowed values: [desktop, mobile]",
    "locationType": "parameter",
    "location": "strategy"
   }
  ],
  "code": 400,
  "message": "Invalid string value: 'mobilez'. Allowed values: [desktop, mobile]"
 }
}

But when i use following code.

URL url = null;
            System.setProperty("http.agent", "");

            url = new URL("https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v2/runPagespeed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zauq.se&strategy=mobilez");//"https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v2/runPagespeed?url=" + paramUrl + "&strategy=" + paramStrategy);
            URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
            conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
            conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0");
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
            String strTemp = "";
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

            while ((null != (strTemp = br.readLine())))
            {
                sb.append(strTemp);
                if (dump)
                {
                    System.out.println(strTemp);
                }
            }

i get IO Exception

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL: https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v2/runPagespeed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zauq.se&strategy=mobilez

Thanks @ JB Nizet

It worked as i tried reading Error Stream.

            InputStream is = null;
            if (conn.getResponseCode() == 400)
            {

                is = conn.getErrorStream();
                error = true;
            } else
            {
                is = conn.getInputStream();
            }

You just need to change you code as below:

    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(((HttpURLConnection) (new URL("https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v2/runPagespeed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zauq.se&strategy=mobilez")).openConnection())
.getInputStream(), Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
