Hey Chris,
Apologies for contacting you directly.
I wondered if you were still seeing any issues with the GMC API? We're getting a number of failed submissions today but nothing has changed within our application.
We're still using the same endpoint and IP addresses and it was working after we last spoke.
Cheers
And recieved this in response at the end of the day 
Hi Chris,  we found an issue on one of our servers.  Can you try again and let me know how it looks please?
 
Kind regards
Chris
