Streaming API returning 503 error

API Issues
1

Hi,
I’m experiencing persistent 503 Service Unavailable errors when connecting to the Streaming API (filing-history endpoint) for at least 16 hours, first time I’ve tried to call api.

Details:

  • Endpoint: https:// stream .companieshouse .gov .uk/filing-history (cannot post a valid url)
  • Error: HTTP 503 Service Unavailable
  • API Key: Valid Streaming API key (type: Streaming, environment: Live)
  • Response Body:
<html><body><h1>503 Service Unavailable</h1>
No server is available to handle this request.
</body></html>

REST API endpoints are working fine, and the issue appears specific to Streaming API.
Tried different keys from different applications.

Question:
Is there scheduled maintenance or a known issue with the Streaming API? Are others experiencing the same problem?
Any update on when service might be restored would be appreciated.
Thanks!

My site https://companies.stream/ is connected and live on the filings stream, so I don’t think there is currently a general outage.

I know they have been doing server maintenance yesterday, but I didn’t notice any streaming connection issues.

I believe your URL should be https:// stream .companieshouse .gov .uk/filings
(rather than filing-history)

@ebrian101 thanks a ton for a quick answer and a keen eye. It was indeed a wrong url :confused:
