Look up what ports are used by your API traffic and input that in to Port Forwarding or Port Triggering configuration. If you try this, be sure to disable uPnP before hand.

Hi FURRYe38 - SIP ALG is currently disabled in WAN Setup (I disabled it during earlier troubleshooting). In terms of contacting support - my warranty expired and they want $100/yr for support, so I'm hoping to find a workaround here first, or confirmation that beta firmware exists that fixes this issue.
I'll check if UPnP is enabled and try disabling it before testing port forwarding - thanks for the suggestion!

No beta that I'm aware of, however you seem to be the only one posting about this.
