Hey JustJozef 

You need to call then the selfLink of the response.

curl -sku <user> "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/tasks/policy-diff/<ID>" | jq .

After that you'll get another link for policyDIffReference, something like that:

... 
"result": 
  "result": {
    "policyDiffReference": {
      "link": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policy-diffs/<Diff_ID>ver=17.1.1",
 ...

Call this policyDiffReference link adding "/diferences" as the endpoint.

curl -sku <user> "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policy-diffs/<Diff_ID>/differences" | jq .

That did it for me, hope it helps you as well.

Cheers
