That seems like a private community so unauthenticated requests will not return any data. It works on Meta using `https://meta.discourse.org/t/144806/2.json` because the content is publicly viewable.

See [Discourse REST API Documentation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-api-documentation/22706) and [Use the Discourse API ruby gem](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-the-discourse-api-ruby-gem/17587) for more info on authenticating your requests with an _`api_key` and `api_username`_.
