This is a courteous site. It would like to know where you come from what currency you use etc. to give you a better user experience. It does this by setting a multitude of cookies on the landing page. So we follow suit and navigate to the landing page first getting the cookies then we goto the page we want:

library(RCurl)myURL <- "http://www.bluenile.com/api/public/loose-diamond/diamond-details/panel?country=USA&currency=USD&language=en-us&productSet=BN&sku=LD04077082"agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0"#Set RCurl parscurl = getCurlHandle()curlSetOpt(cookiejar="cookies.txt",  useragent = agent, followlocation = TRUE, curl=curl)firstPage <- getURL("http://www.bluenile.com", curl=curl)myPage <- getURL(myURL, curl = curl)library(RJSONIO)> names(fromJSON(myPage))[1] "diamondDetailsHeader" "diamondDetailsBodies" "pageMetadata"         "expandedUrl"         [5] "newVersion"           "multiDiamond"
