Lifts and Escalators API

[Peter Hicks]

Hello

The Lifts and Escalators API at https://nr-lift-and-escalator.developer.azure-api.net/ appears to be broken - it's returning a generic Cloudflare origin certificate for me.

Is anyone else seeing the same thing happening?

Same here. The SANs in the cert are (*.)nr-lift-and-escalator.net ... so likely a recent misconfiguration somewhere - start of validity was 17:33 yesterday.

Slightly worryingly (with my professional hat on) that certificate has a *15 year* lifespan, which shouldn't be issued from a publicly trusted CA, and Cloudflare normally know better than that.

The nr-lift-and-escalator.net domain is registered ... through GoDaddy and the registrant details are hidden, so I don't know if NR registered it.

/me puts his day job back down for the weekend.

Hi all,

It’s still giving the dodgy certificate as of this morning.

Best wishes,

Martin

Hi Martin

On further digging, it appears to now be hosted at https://portal.nr-lift-and-escalator.net/ - although the top hit on Google is pointing to the azure-api.net address, and the NR press release at https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/network-rails-open-data-programme-gets-lift-off refers to the azure-api.net address.

How did I discover the 'correct' URL?  I couldn't find my password, so I had to request a password reset, which came with a link in it to https://portal.nr-lift-and-escalator.net/.

For background, and through frustration with trying to deal with a GraphQL query to return a set of fairly simple objects, I've been trying to write a RESTful API to go in front of the API.
