I’ve been learning Apollo today, and have found that the server used in the Apollo Client example is down. I tried to open URL in GraphQL Playground and received “Server cannot be reached” message

Hi @christaylor19!

The GraphQL API linked in the tutorial previously only allowed requests from certain origins (for example, localhost:3000 and Apollo Studio). We’ve relaxed the rules around this now so that you should be able to query it. When you get the chance, can you check again?

Let me know if you’re still running into issues. Thanks!
