When I open this URL in my browser, it redirects me to http://app.oviewz.com/. This means that the image is not available publicly i.e. You need to be logged in to view the image. So, you can't directly download the image using URL. If the website has some API for login, you can use that to get required access token and send the same in header of this request, the way they do in facebook or g+ API.
