I get a 403 from that URL. Where is the documentation?

Uh. That's a picture of a guy with a spade. There must be documentation that describes how to access and use the API. If there isn't then it's not a candidate for inclusion in the whitelist.

Link to api docs

Field photo_50 contains the url to fileserver. Try user_ids = 1

I can't find a reference to pp.userapi.com in the docs you linked to. It's really obvious that api.vk.com is their api endpoint, but there's just no mention of pp.userapi.com.

Try run sample query. In response find filed photo_50. I don't know how explain with my low level knowledge of english, sorry.

We're not going to sign up to a random site so that we can write the code to examine it's responses so that we can determine if something is a candidate for the whitelist. If it doesn't have a documented, public API, then it can't go on the whitelist.
