Hi All,

Companies data is not getting returned via the URL
http://api.crunchbase.com/v/1/companies.js

The returned data is failing to get JSON parsed with the error as
below.

simplejson.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Unterminated string starting at:
line 642 column 16 (char 16165)

Opening the URL in Internet Explorer fetches only a part and the last
line fetched seems to be below

"permalink": "jupidi"},
{"name": "SVnetwork",
"permalink": "socialvibe"},
{"name": "PopTok",
"permalink": "popt

Please guide.

Regards,
Guddu

Hi,

I experience the same issue, even though it worked perfectly fine
until yesterday.
Does anyone have a clue how to solve this?
I am happy about any help.

Thanks,
Ralf

I experience the same issue today. Actually all plural namespaces
return incomplete data: companies.js, people.js, financial-
organizations.js, products.js. Seems like they are having some
technical issues...

Same here
I have also noticed that company list is the same since weeks.
Does the API update every day?

Thanks

This is happening again. Who could help us overcome this problem. When
i reported this the last time, the problem corrected on its own within
a day of me reporting it.

I hope someone could guide.

All,

We narrowed the problem down to our nginx configuration. The proxy
buffer size was not large enough to accommodate the response body for
big json datasets such as companies.js and people.js. I increased the
sizes appropriately and looks like the full listing is being returned
now.

Please let us know if you see otherwise.

Sebastian: the API data updates everyday. We have a master-slave
configuration and the API db is updated in near real-time.

thanks,
Vineet and Anthony
