    Default what is the reason of " Server returned HTTP response code: 403" error

    Hi , this is my code and when I execute it it generates following errors what is wrong with it.

    code:

    package googleSearch;


    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
    import java.net.URL;
    import java.net.URLEncoder;


    public class linkDiscovery {

    private String query = "news agency";
    // private String collection = " site : Wikipedia.org";
    // private String searchItem = query+collection;
    private String searchEngine = "http://www.google.com";

    // to search the query in a nominated collection

    public void displayItems() throws IOException {

    URL url = new URL(searchEngine + "/search?hl=en&source=hp&q="+ URLEncoder.encode(query, "UTF-8")+ "&meta=&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=");

    HttpURLConnection httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    InputStream inputStream = httpConnection.getInputStream();

    int ch;
    while ((ch=inputStream.read()) > 0) {
    System.out.print((char)ch);
    }
    }


    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    new linkDiscovery().displayItems();
    }


    }

    Errors:

    Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: news agency - Google Search
    at sun.net.http://www.protocol.http.HttpURLConn...Stream(Unknown Source)

    Default Re: what is the reason of " Server returned HTTP response code: 403" error

    Forbidden
    See HTTP/1.1: Status Code Definitions

    In another Thread I alluded to how one can try and resolve this issue - but in that other thread I also alluded to perhaps violating google's terms of use in doing so (something you do not want to do).
