I am writing to report an issue with the API service while connecting Bika to Make.com via HTTP requests.
Recently, my API calls have been failing continuously with a 503 Service Unavailable response. The error message captured on Make.com is as follows:
“The HTTP request in this module hit a service outage. Bika returned a 503 response, so the request could not finish.”
I have double-checked my request settings, including the Authorization header format (Bearer {API_TOKEN}), but the upstream service outage persists on Bika’s side.
Could you please check if there is an ongoing server maintenance/outage on your end, or advise on when the service will be fully restored?
Looking forward to your guidance.
@Headchef.Yang Thanks for reporting this.
We cannot confirm the source of the 503 response from the current information alone, as it may occur on the Bika API side or anywhere along the request path.
Could you please share the affected endpoint with any sensitive values masked, the approximate failing time and time zone, and a screenshot or export of the Make execution log? This will help us investigate the request further.
If possible, please also test the same request outside Make, for example with Postman or curl. If the same request fails there as well, please include the response body and headers, with any sensitive values removed.
For any write requests, please avoid repeated retries unless your scenario has duplicate-prevention logic in place.
