             'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36'},
  muteHttpExceptions: true,
  method: "GET",
  contentType: "application/json",
  validateHttpsCertificates: false,
};

var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params);

Just add the user agent information in the headers section. Hope it helps!
