Hrm. That is odd and unwanted.

Could you try once more, now that some time has passed, and see if you receive the same result (just in case this was a transient 500 error) please?

Outstanding! That was easy.

Occasionally (as with almost any API), there can be transient "snaffus", which appears to have been the case here.

500 code issues are mostly from server side if the service is down for a particular moment. This can be due to various reasons like high traffic, network issue or maintenance mode.

The service may come up after some time automatically resolving the issue
