extreme slowness in API responses

[anindacilin...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

  all API requests for us is taking longer than 30 seconds and usually more than 5 minutes. Anybody else having the same problem? I thought we are hitting 1000 report download limit but we are not getting RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEEDED error. The following is a sample script that wasn't finished in 5 minutes

$ time ./p3_awql.py 'select Id, Criteria from CAMPAIGN_CRITERIA_REPORT where CampaignId=902979548 and CriteriaType=IP_BLOCK'

Traceback (most recent call last):

.....

  File "/lib/python3.6/socket.py", line 144, in __init__

    _socket.socket.__init__(self, family, type, proto, fileno)

OSError: [Errno 97] Address family not supported by protocol

Hi, 

Are you still facing latency issues while running reports via the API? I was able to test this AWQL against your account and the results came back in a few seconds. Also, are you observing this issue for other API services? From the error that you shared, it looks like an issue with your network settings. You could also take a look at this stackOverflow discussion to see if that helps. 

Thanks,
