Hi,

The server at uslaw.link appears to be down. Domain and all URLs are resolving with error 502 (Bad Gateway).

Note that at least one Wikipedia legal citation template, {{USPL}}, (and quite probably more) relies on the link resolver/permalink service hosted at this particular domain, so all Wikipedia articles using this template for citations now have bad/unresolved links.

Still down. Any updates? KR

Still down for me too. Looks like the repo hasn't been updated recently. @JoshData is this still being actively maintained?

Edit: btw, uslaw.link is a fantastic tool that I've used in several projects. Thanks for your work on this!

Hi all. Thanks. I restarted it and it's up now, although I'm not sure why it keeps going down.

I'm not actively working on this project, other than trying to keep it available, for a few reasons. One reason is that Congress (via govinfo.gov) is doing a much better job at hosting more of the original materials and creating APIs and things. Another is that, relatedly, most of the usage of this project comes from Wikipedia's statute templates, and the maintainers of those templates have said they want to transition away from linking to this project as more primary sources become available at govinfo.gov. (I am happy to be obsoleted.)

Thank you @JoshData ! That's good to know that Govinfo has made those strides. I'll definitely look into their API.
