Over the last week the number of articles available via the API appears to have dropped approximately 100x from 900 a day to 10(ish) a day, I'm usually pulling articles about 31 days in the past to allow them to appear with: FIRST_PDATE:{DATE} AND HAS_FT:Y.

Is something up?

Thanks Sam

Dear Sam,

We are currently having an issue that causes the reduction of the amount of the full-text articles that are added on a daily basis.
We are currently investigating the issue and will get back to you as soon as it's fixed.

Yours sincerely,
Islam Hassan

Thanks Islam!

Is there a status page for EuropePMC where I can check for issues like this?

Hi Sam,

As of now, we don't have a dedicated status page.
We usually add a banner to the website when there's an ongoing issue. We have added one for this issue yesterday.
I'll inform you as soon as the problem is fixed.
