REST connection status

My system has behaved strangely this week with some of Alpaca’s API issues. I’m using the trade api library in Python.

The library exceptions didn’t seem to raise this morning. Anyone know how I can test the connection status before submitting an order or what use in the order response to raise an exception within in my code?

I’m having issues also with the paper trade side. Here is the error:

alpaca_trade_api.rest.APIError: internal server error occurred
