Issues with Photos API

[AJ ONeal (Home)]

I'm not sure what's going on, but the photos API is not loving my server right now. Requests are coming back *very* slow and often timing out.

Since I grab the user's photo on login, this also affects /me

It appears to be something between my server and LDS.org. Perhaps a bandwidth issue with my host. Perhaps rate limiting. Not sure.

As I've been testing to try to make the requests come back faster (changing the photo batch size, limited the number of open requests), nothing is getting better. Just slower and slower and slower.

I knew that I would have to implement caching at some point, but it looks like it just jumped a few steps higher on my priority list.

Even testing with cURL directly against lds.org on my local machine is going horrifically slow / timing out.

It looks like the photos api is back online.

Can someone else confirm that it works for them?

A great way to confirm would be to log out of ldsconnect.org then log out of facecards.org, then log back in to facecards.org afresh. If you get photos, then it's working for you too. Otherwise it will time out.

(Note: it's important that you log out of ldsconnect.org first because I haven't yet updated facecards.org to do the oauth3 logout from ldsconnect.org)
