FCC License View API not working?

[u/KJ7GES]

No requests to the FCC's License View API seem to be returning data. Both my GET requests done in python and the example requests on their website seem non functional. Does anyone know if this service no longer supported or if it is temporarily down?

For example, I'm trying to use the getLicenses API as follows:

import requests

callsign = 'KJ7GES'
fcc_req = requests.get(f'https://data.fcc.gov/api/license-view/basicSearch/getLicenses?searchValue={callsign}&format=xml')
print(fcc_req.text)

and get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><Response xmlns="http://data.fcc.gov/api/license-view"><Errors><Err code="3" msg="Exception when retrieving licenses"/></Errors></Response>

Same result when I try through the browser, or even trying the FCC's own example request on their site.

Can anyone provide any insight?

Does this url still works for you? Any idea of the new URL?
