Response [404] while using API

Hi there,

Can I check if access to the politifact API is generally broken? I have tried several commands but all of them returned me the Response [404] error.

Thanks!

Is the API still under maintainence?

Just wanted to know whether the API is still under maintenance and/or it can be used
