Yes. The REST API server is fine; it's the Bugzilla it is contacting which is down. The URL you are using is connected to https://bugzilla-stage-tip.mozilla.org/. This server is our Bugzilla test server. It's currently broken in many ways (see bug 568011) because we recently installed a new build on it in preparation for upgrading bugzilla.mozilla.org to version 3.6.

I'm afraid that, until it is fixed, if you want to make test API calls, you will need to do it using your own version of BzAPI pointed at your own server.

If I had my own test server to point to, I would already be doing that.   Any ETA for how long until the server will be up again?

docbill: that's up to justdave, who manages the server. Bug 568011 does show some progress.

Reopening, as resolving 568011 did not resolve this problem.   So this must be a separate but dependent issue.
