Hi, I’m looking to generate models based on the Open API spec that (only theoretically) can be downloaded from the docs. Unfortunately, upon inspecting the Open API spec file ([https://developer-specs.company-information.service.gov.uk/api.ch.gov.uk-specifications/swagger-2.0/spec/streaming.json](https://developer-specs.company-information.service.gov.uk/api.ch.gov.uk-specifications/swagger-2.0/spec/streaming.json)), I noticed that all references point to 127.0.0.1. I’m assuming that you can see the problem already. It wouldn’t be too much of a problem, but there’s multiple levels of nested files, all pointing to 127.0.0.1 and no editor/viewer I’m aware of is able to resolve them. That being said, may I ask that this is fixed to allow pulling the spec? If it’s easier for the time being, can I please ask for a single-file spec instead? ---

This has reported to Companies House before, the only response I can remember is that it wasn’t a priority. That was 2022.

Hah, I was planning on writing such a script myself in case I didn’t receive an answer. Well, thanks for letting me know - I kind of assumed that this hasn’t been raised before - you know, someone would’ve fixed if by now if it has 😅
