Got returns a different response than other http request libraries/curl

[sbalaji1996]

Describe the bug

• Node.js version: v14.16.0
• OS & version: macOS Big Sur v11.2.2, got version 11.8.2

I'm attempting to make GET requests to the Pipedrive API (docs), located at 'https://api.pipedrive.com/'. However, regardless of the path and query parameters I add to the request url, got returns a 403 response. Oddly, other node http request libraries, specifically http and node-fetch, return a 401 response (if I don't include an API token in the query parameters) or a 200 response (if I do include said API token); I see this behavior when using curl as well.

Actual behavior

(All commands are executed in a node shell using node --experimental-repl-await).

const got = require('got');
const url = 'https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/persons/search';
await got(url);

throws the following error

Uncaught HTTPError: Response code 403 (Forbidden)
    at Request.<anonymous> (got/dist/source/as-promise/index.js:117:42)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:93:5) {

    end: 1615320854012,

      request: 0,
      firstByte: 27,
      download: 6,
      total: 187
    }
  }
}

. Compare this to http and node-fetch:

const http = require('http');
const getStream = require('get-stream);
https.get(url, async response => { const body = await getStream(response); console.log(body) })
// {"success":false,"error":"unauthorized access","errorCode":401}

const fetch = require('node-fetch'); // v2.6.1
const res = await fetch(url);
await res.json();
// { success: false, error: 'unauthorized access', errorCode: 401 }

Finally, using curl:

> curl 'https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/persons/search'
{"success":false,"error":"unauthorized access","errorCode":401}

If I include an api_token query parameter in the request url (per the docs), the requests made using node-fetch, http, and curl return a 200 response; got continues to return a 403 response in this case.

Expected behavior

That requests made using got also return a 401 or a 200 response, depending on the url. I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious w.r.t. the headers I need to send alongside the request; at the same time, the other approaches I've tested with seem to work out of the box.

Code to reproduce

See above.

Checklist

• I have read the documentation.
• I have tried my code with the latest version of Node.js and Got.

Ah, yep, that does the trick. Thanks!
