Searching by licence on soundcoud returns 503 error

When I try to replicate the search by licence, as described here

http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs#search

with this code

<script src="http://connect.soundcloud.com/sdk.js"></script>
<script>
SC.initialize({
  client_id: //insert client ID here
});

// find all sounds of buskers licensed under 'creative commons share alike'
SC.get('/tracks', { q: 'buskers', license: 'cc-by-sa' }, function(tracks) {
  console.log(tracks);
});
</script>

all I get is 503 error. You can try it yourself here

It is most probably an issue with SoundCloud since when I remove the license: 'cc-by-sa' part, it works fine. Even when I write licence instead of license, it works fine, but it doesn't filter anything.

I tried to contact SoundCloud by e-mail, but since they don't reply on mail but do reply on questions on SO, I am unfortunately using SO as for reporting bugs.

I will also add that I tried this 7 days ago and it returned the exactly same error, so it's not just a temporary thing.
