Written in response to Show tweet count as text for posts :
This "forbidden" error is likely encountered because you are not caching your data. Every time you pull the data in this fashion, their site gets a hit from you. Many services have these safeguards in place to prevent denial of service attacks.
You could cache the data in a file on your server or in a WP "transient" database table.
Or, you could use cURL with its built-in page retrieval cache to reduce the probability of setting off flags. With all of these solutions though, you will not get the very lastest data ... but mildly time-delayed.
I was just about to submit my solution when Baki Goxhaj replied. I didn't want to counter his incredibly fast response, but I knew there was a high probability you'd eventually start getting these sporadic 403's.
Try using this function instead of file_get_contents(). Just put it in your theme's functions.php file and call it instead of file_get_contents(). Once you're flag is cleared with their service, it should work in perpetuity. But, using a database transient is a better solution.
