that website runs on a user-agent whitelist, and curl is not on their whitelist. seems the easiest way to get around it is to fake the user-agent, an example of a whitelisted user-agent is Chrome/79, 

 curl --user-agent 'Chrome/79' 'https://www.nseindia.com/api/quote-derivative?symbol=BANKNIFTY'

protip: that website loads much faster if you add the argument --compressed - it gzips really well, here it goes from ~1400 milliseconds response time to ~600 milliseconds response time (on a shitty 4G connection from Tjøme, Norway :P )

That script i think uses variables from that spesific website so therefore variables is undefined when you run it in you terminal, try to run it in the web console instead.
