I am able to snapshot locally. I'm thinking the version has a lot of large sourcefiles which is adding to the request since the version is passed. I think a solution would be to set the sourcefiles array to null (has no impact on the outcome of the API call)

[coverbeck]

This is probably the cause -- are there more than 50K of source files? Would also explain why it works locally but not on staging/production

[agduncan94]

@coverbeck Thanks I think that explains it, you saved me a lot of googling.
