Subject: api calls being recognized as automated procedural requests?

In the last couple of days my application has started to fail multiple
times, being detected as automated procedural requests and redirected to

http://sorry.google.com/sorry/?continue=http://www.google.com/reader/...

I end up needing to quit the app and use it later.

Has anyone any information on this or seen this in their own application. I
am looking through my code right now for bugs etc, but any help would be
appreciated.

My app is available (for free) here:

Thanks,
-arpit

Can we easily identify requests from your app (either via user agent
or by client= query parameter)? If so, I can take a look to see if the
request pattern seems reasonable.

Unfortunately no, but I can add that today and push an update out.

I'll reply back on this thread soon. Thanks Mihai for the offer to help me
investigate the issue.

@Mihai,

I am still getting the "sorry we think you are a robot" page (
http://sorry.google.com/sorry/?continue=http://www.google.com/reader/...)
after about 10 minutes or so of use on average. I have been testing a build
for the last few days that additionally sends a source post parameter in the
api call that identifies the application as
"espressoreader-espressoreader-2.0". This has not been rolled out to the
users so right now there is only 1 or 2 apps out there that send the
request. If you could look into why the application is getting flagged I'd
really appreciate it. I got the message today at 11am and last night around
1am EST approximately if that  helps you at all.

Also I did realize that the usage pattern in my app is slightly different
from core Google Reader. In GR, I think you can mark an individual post read
or the entire feed as read. In my app, in one view for example, you can
glance at 10 items at once and mark all of them as read, leading to 10
sequential api calls to mark the 10 items as read. Is there any API that
would mark more than 1 item as read in 1 api call ? The 10 sequential calls
may be the reason Google considers my app a robot.

Thanks,
-arpit

Subject: Re: api calls being recognized as automated procedural requests?

Just to close the thread: This is no longer an issue for me I think. I
discovered a bug in my code that made too many retries for the token when it
expired. Since it expired after a pretty long time (about an hour), I
assumed it was a rate limit exceeded error. My mistake.

I assume there isnt a "mark multiple as read" api call but hopefully 10
calls made sequentially is okay. I havent seen an error doing that (yet)

Thanks,
-arpit

I thought someone else would respond so I didn't because I don't remember the exact details. But you can mark multiple as read in a single call. Search through the archives of this group and you will see it discussed.
