getting 403 accessing discovery api with and without developersKey on appengine

[GoogleCodeExporter]

using appengine - works with the devserver

# by using the following code from the google-plus-api-starter
DISCOVERY_DOCUMENT = "https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/plus/v1/rest"

decorator = OAuth2Decorator(
    client_id=settings.CLIENT_ID,
    client_secret=settings.CLIENT_SECRET,
    scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me' )

# happens with and without memcache
http = httplib2.Http()
httpUnauth = httplib2.Http()

# Get discovery document
ul = urllib.urlopen(settings.DISCOVERY_DOCUMENT)
discovery_doc = ul.read()
ul.close()

# service = build("plus", "v1", http=http, developerKey=settings.API_KEY)
service = build("plus", "v1", http=http, developerKey=settings.API_KEY)

# getting the following error message
