503 Service Unavailable

API Issues

Hi,

The following URL in the Streaming API is not working:
https://stream.companieshouse.gov.uk/officer-appointments

I get the following message:

503 Service Unavailable

No server is available to handle this request.

Can you take a look please?

Thanks

Hi, unfortunately the officer-appointments stream does not exist…yet.

It is on our backlog to develop but we are busy with other priorities at the moment so we have no specific timeline for it at the moment.

I recognise this is not clear in the documentation and will get the team to look at changing that to avoid confusion.

This error happen for a wide variety of reasons. Normally, this error can be due to a temporary overloading or maintenance being performed on the server and it is resolved after a period of time or once another thread has been released by web-server application. In most cases this could happen (assuming there are no faults in your app) if there are long running tasks and as a result the request queue is backed up.The subsequent points serve as a possible fix, aimed toward resolving the 503 Service Unavailable Error.
