Strange error - Exception from service object: For input string: "3630000000"

[rico...@gmail.com]

Hello!

I keep on getting the following error in my Java 1.5 app with the
Google API:

com.google.soap.search.GoogleSearchFault: Fault Code = SOAP-ENV:Server
Fault String = Exception from service object: For input string:
"3630000000"

The input string changes every time, but is always a number similar to
the one displayed above. What in the world is this error supposed to
mean? I've debugged my code, and my inputs to the API seem to be
working fine...?

Thanks!

P.S. I seem to get the error only while searching for certain things.
For example, a generic search of "health" yields this error, while
"healthy" does not...What's going on here?

The API servers have been throwing fits for the last few months.
Google's aware of the problem (and, hopefully, working on resolving
it). Don't be surprsied if you see errors coming up frequently.

Yeah,

I'm getting the same errors. It's good to know that google's been
having troubles. Thanks for your post.

Yeah, thanks! GOod to know. Instead of GOogle API, I'm going to use
what is perhaps an even simpler solution: Access http://scroogle.com/
and parse out the URLs. ;)

you are rite actually .... 1 am using linux based gSoap to connect to
the API using a C program and i too am getting errors on searching
"health" but not in "healthy". In fact it is creating problems in
searching for "google" .....but not for "yahoo" :)))) !!!!!!

Im running into similar issues too. From the stack trace, seems like
some of google's java code is blowing up.
