While I am communicating with the bitcoin average server it says 403 status code error

const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const request = require("request");
const app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));

app.get("/", function(req, res){
  res.sendFile(__dirname + "/index.html");
});

app.post("/", function(req, res){
request(" https://apiv2.bitcoinaverage.com/indices/global/ticker/all?crypto=BTC&fiat=USD,EUR", function(error, response, body){
console.log(response.statusCode);
});

});

app.listen(3000, function(){
  console.log("server is running in port 3000");
});

if you see the body of response console.log(response.body); see this error and

Unauthenticated requests can't access endpoint apiv2.bitcoinaverage.com/indices/global/ticker/all?crypto=BTC&fiat=USD,EUR

403 is for unauthorized ("refuses to authorize"); i.e. 'I know who you are, but you don't have permission to access this resource.'

403 Forbidden

The 403 (Forbidden) status code indicates that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it. A server that wishes to make public why the request has been forbidden can describe that reason in the response payload (if any).

If authentication credentials were provided in the request, the server considers them insufficient to grant access. The client SHOULD NOT automatically repeat the request with the same credentials. The client MAY repeat the request with new or different credentials. However, a request might be forbidden for reasons unrelated to the credentials.

An origin server that wishes to "hide" the current existence of a forbidden target resource MAY instead respond with a status code of 404 (Not Found).

you should Making Authenticated Requests
