Google Contacts API Failure - Server Down?

All of a sudden I've found my Google contacts-integrated web app failing to make straightforward calls to the server.

I haven't changed a stitch of oAuth code in months but all of a sudden I can't connect or make calls on existing tokens.

The return is mostly garbage but in the header I'm getting a 401 - Unauthorized and in the body you have:

Error
401
(Client Error)!!1

That's an error.
There was an error in your request.
That's all we know.

I've since tried to run a few calls in the oAuth 2.0 Playground and experienced similar behaviour. Any one else seeing this?

I've JUST seen this thread from a month ago: Google Contacts Data Api 401 error

The docs have been restored however.

GOOGLE DEVS: Any insight on this matter is MUCH APPRECIATED ASAP.

I'm having the same issue. OAuth 1.0a in my case, but scope of https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/ and accessing https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full (using OACurl to do so) – Fiona Hopkins Apr 23 '13 at 23:36
The Oauth2 playground is broken for me too, btw: https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground – nybbles Apr 23 '13 at 23:38
Yep, confirm that it seems to be down us, and I can't make that request on the Oauth2 playground either. – Zachary Vance Apr 23 '13 at 23:49
Glad to see it's just not me. This blows. Need to work. – RyanMac Apr 24 '13 at 00:06
Looks like it's resolved for us now. – nybbles Apr 24 '13 at 01:20
