REST API cannot retrieve large clades

[ethanbass]

Working up the tree from Homininae:

import omadb

# these requests work fine
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Homininae')
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Homininae')
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Hominidae')
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Hominoidea')
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Catarrhini')
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Simiiformes')
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Primates')
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Euarchontoglires')

#below this line the API returns a 500 server error:
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Boreoeutheria')
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Eutheria')
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Theria')
dendropy_tree = c.taxonomy.dendropy_tree(root='Amniota')

error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Also, the same problem arises when interacting with the API through the website at this link(https://omabrowser.org/api/docs). E.g. https://omabrowser.org/api/taxonomy/Homininae/ works, but https://omabrowser.org/api/taxonomy/Amniota/ returns the 500 server error.
