Just as a follow up to this.
There is a way to call the service to ensure it is available, this can be done by curling the
API health check endpoint. An example of how this can be done is:
curl -vvv -k -X GET -H “Authorisation” -H “Cache-Control: no-cache” -H “Postman token” https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/healthcheck
This should return a 200 status.
