When 1020 error is returned by curl, it means typically that the request was blocked by security settings, which can include challenges like CAPTCHAs or browser checks.
Try to add UA header into your curl request, like
$headers = [
'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/110.0.0.0 Safari/537.36',
];
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
