Thank you for reporting this.
I looked into the issue and identified the problem, which was being caused due to a minor bug caused by a last-minute update we pushed this afternoon.
I just fixed and pushed a new version of the API. The issue should now be rectified.
Please let me know if you have any difficulties.

Hello,
I have been using the API for daily downloads of the updated case counts for utla and ltla areas. This stopped working yesterday with a 500 error returned. If this is a timeout issue could you please allow longer queries? this was working last week and I have to produce a daily report. Many thanks, Carlo.
