Why has ARAX API command /PubmedMeshNgd stopped working?

[saramsey]

So, in ITRB TEST, this API command works as expected,

sramsey-laptop:~ sramsey$ curl -X 'GET'   'https://arax.test.transltr.io/api/arax/v1.4/PubmedMeshNgd/PTGS2/acetaminophen'   -H 'accept: application/json'
{
  "response_code": "OK",
  "value": 0.6197083479333347
}

but on arax.ncats.io production, it does not:

sramsey-laptop:~ sramsey$ curl -X 'GET'   'https://arax.ncats.io/api/arax/v1.4/PubmedMeshNgd/PTGS2/acetaminophen'   -H 'accept: application/json'
{
  "message": "Term 1 'PTGS2' and Term 2 'acetaminophen' not found in MeSH",
  "response_code": "TermNotFound"
}

anyone know why? I wonder if this API command is tested so infrequently, some months-ago code commit broke it and we never noticed?

PubmedMeshNgd is apparently working on arax.test.transltr.io. A strategy to diagnose would be to compare the https://github.com/RTXteam/RTX/commits/itrb-test/ branch with the around July 9th, 2025 master to see what might have changed to cause the error about terms not showing up in arax.ci.transltr.io and arax.ncats.io

Suggestion is to debug on arax.ncats.io directly
