Apparently, this now works to get the toolox download URL without spoofing the user agent and so on:

URL=$(curl -s 'https://data.services.jetbrains.com//products/releases?code=TBA&latest=true&type=release' |jq -r '.TBA[0].downloads.linux.link')
# -L = follow redirects
curl -L "${URL}" --output "${DEST}/toolbox.tar.gz"

If you extract and run the toolbox command inside, it will also install itself into your home dir, so you can imit the extra script

Full script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

if [[ ! -f ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/bin/jetbrains-toolbox ]]; then
  msg_start "Installing jetbrains Toolbox"
  URL=$(curl -s 'https://data.services.jetbrains.com//products/releases?code=TBA&latest=true&type=release' | jq -r '.TBA[0].downloads.linux.link')

  DOWNLOAD_TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)

  mkdir -p "${DOWNLOAD_TEMP_DIR}"

  curl -L "${URL}" --output "${DOWNLOAD_TEMP_DIR}/toolbox.tar.gz"

  TOOLBOX_TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)

  tar -C "$TOOLBOX_TEMP_DIR" -xf "${DOWNLOAD_TEMP_DIR}/toolbox.tar.gz"
  rm "${DOWNLOAD_TEMP_DIR}/toolbox.tar.gz"

  # for whatever stupid reasons bash doesn't expand the star here...
  # it automatically installs itself into ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/
  bash -c "${TOOLBOX_TEMP_DIR}/*/jetbrains-toolbox"
  rm -rf "${TOOLBOX_TEMP_DIR}"
  msg_success "Installing jetbrains Toolbox: done."
fi

works as of 11/2021

Some modifications: install jq, use echo

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

sudo apt install -y jg

if [[ ! -f ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/bin/jetbrains-toolbox ]]; then
  echo "Installing jetbrains Toolbox"
  URL=$(curl -s 'https://data.services.jetbrains.com//products/releases?code=TBA&latest=true&type=release' | jq -r '.TBA[0].downloads.linux.link')

  DOWNLOAD_TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)

  mkdir -p "${DOWNLOAD_TEMP_DIR}"

  curl -L "${URL}" --output "${DOWNLOAD_TEMP_DIR}/toolbox.tar.gz"

  TOOLBOX_TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)

  tar -C "$TOOLBOX_TEMP_DIR" -xf "${DOWNLOAD_TEMP_DIR}/toolbox.tar.gz"
  rm "${DOWNLOAD_TEMP_DIR}/toolbox.tar.gz"

  # for whatever stupid reasons bash doesn't expand the star here...
  # it automatically installs itself into ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/
  bash -c "${TOOLBOX_TEMP_DIR}/*/jetbrains-toolbox"
  rm -rf "${TOOLBOX_TEMP_DIR}"
  echo "Installing jetbrains Toolbox: done."
