502 Bad Gateway from both api.heigit.org and api.openrouteservice.org

We have a server-side PHP proxy making POST requests to the ORS Directions v2 API. It used to work, but recently started getting a 502 Bad Gateway response.

Details:

Both hosts resolve to the same IP (129.206.5.53) and return the same response:

<head><title>502 Bad Gateway</title></head>
<center><h1>502 Bad Gateway</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.31.0</center>

The connection succeeds (TLS handshake completes), but nginx returns 502 immediately, suggesting the upstream routing service is unreachable. Is this a known outage or has there been a change to the API endpoint URL? If this is a temporary issue, is there a status page where we can track recovery?

Thanks.

Hey,

no, unfortunately this was not known outage, but some unknown issue in the API stack as well as an increase in the data that lead to a memory shortage.
By now this should be resolved, all systems are back in operation.

Best regards
the openrouteservice team

Thank you, I can confirm it is wrking now.
Regards
