using several ironworkers to access facebook graph api concurrently and failing to retrieve information

[Assaf Mendelson]

I know this is less of an ironworker issue, but thought maybe
someone's seen this here and knows the answer:

We have tried to speed up our app by getting the initial information
on a user of our app through a set of parallel calls using several
ironworkers (dev.iron.io) on a ruby on rails based system. we have all
the tokens needed. When it comes to retrieving "likes" - it fails.
Initially it failed ones in a while, now it fails all the time. So we
end up with an empty-set for likes which crushes our app.

Any thoughts/ideas/solutions to why this may be occurring?

Can it be that the graphAPI has some problem with concurrent access to
the same fbID?

Help appreciated. Thanks - Assaf

Hey Assaf,

Is there a stacktrace you can share with the list? Do you know how many times you are hitting the Fb API in a given minute?

I will try to see if we can get a stacktrace.

 

Do you know of a limit to the number of hits on FB API per minute?

 

Thanks

Hi Assaf,

This question talks about FB API limits which are actually bound to a FB token from a certain IP address. (600 queries in 600 seconds, 100M calls per 24 hours per app limit). 

Thanks,

Hey Guys,

Some tasks may share IP's, but for the most part running many tasks concurrently should yield different IP addresses.

I think I've seen some customers hitting whatismyip type services to ensure unique IP's for various crawling needs.
