Hi, I am trying to hit the BLS API (https://api.bls.gov/publicAPI/v2) from my app deployed to railway and it constantly times out. I have had no such issue running it from my local machine.
Is this blocked on Railway side by any chance or are you aware of such issues?
It's rather strange that railway run curl -v https://api.bls.gov/publicAPI/v2/timeseries/data/CUUR0000SA0 returns data so it seems to only happen inside the node app.

If it's timing out, it means we're not receiving any responses from their end. We do not block this for sure.
You may want to check with them to see if they have any rate limits or is blocking Railway's IP addresses.
