HTTP 503 errors in API calls

[felciano]

Hi --

A batch script that has been running successfully for many months
started throwing errors last week. It reliably now throws a "HTTP
Error 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable" when calling the web API.
The script runs every 20 minutes or so, and waits 1 second between
each API call, so AFAIK it shouldn't be overloading the system or
otherwise be in violation of the usage terms.

Any ideas how to debug this further?

Thanks,

Ramon

Hey Ramon,

This should be fixed now (it was API key specific).

Thanks!

Hi Omar --

Thanks. That resolved it for about 30 minutes, but now I'm getting a
range of other errors:

urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10054] An existing connection
was forcibly closed by the remote host>
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10060] A connection attempt
failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a
period of time, or established connection failed because connected
host has failed to respond

This is pretty reproduceable on my end. Any ideas?

Hey Ramon,

I can't see anything wrong on our end at the moment (or at the time of
your report), so if the problem continues, please feel free to send me
request URLs, etc, and I can look into it for you.

Thanks!

Omar
