I'm having issues getting the API to work. It was working fine for me
before, but now times out. No error, just a time out. Almost like the
hostname doesn't work anymore (although obviously the web site is
working fine).

Hi Raymond,

I'm experiencing the exact same thing as of May 7th 2008. I'm
wondering, if it's some kind of "lock" caused by too many requests,
although I doubt this from our site's frequence of use.
Let's hope, the codeheads @ SlideShare will notice our posts here. :)

Raymond, Frederik,

I'm looking into it right now ... I'm going to try to reproduce it on
my end. I'll get an answer here within 24 hours.

Things have been a little busy for us ... we just announced we got
funded last night! We should be able to hire more engineers now, and
hopefully provide better support to our developer community. ;->

Hi Raymond, Frederik,

There was a small bug in the code which caused the API code to break.
The bug has been fixed now. Please test the API from your
applications. If you face any more problems, please feel free to write
back to us.
