I am using LWP::Simple::get($url) library to access data from web pages. The problem is that the get function is not working for the below url. Below is the code snippet:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::Simple;
use JSON;
use Data::Dumper;
my $url = "https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/api/GetCurrencies";
my $json = get( $url);
die "Could not get $url!" unless defined $json;
my $decoded_json = decode_json($json);
print Dumper($decoded_json);

After running this code it gives the below error: Could not get https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/api/GetCurrencies! When i replace the url with :

 $url = "https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/"

it works fine. Please can you tell me what is the root cause and how I can fix it. Also the url mentioned in the code snippet worked once and now suddenly it does not work.
