Issues with the Meraki API this morning (East US)?
Hey guys,
I am running into some problems this morning with trying to get my python scripts working. Any functions or API calls I try to make to the Cisco Meraki API seem to be timing out. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Anyone know of a workaround? I am trying to automate switch configurations this morning.

Notice above I am getting tons of 503 errors, which is the HTTP code for service unavailable...
Is anyone else having issues?
Thanks,

I'm presuming that this was related to the new API released today, is it okay for you now?
