API problems anyone?

i have 2 dfferent connections to the API 1) a vps and 2)50MB VirginMedia cable and i was running the same Bot on both (testing something)

this afternoon the VPS was flying along (as usual) but the VirgnMedia  was crawling  (and that's actually been the case for a few days now), so at first sight you'd say there's nothing wrong with the API and something wrong with the VirginMedia connection

but, I've done speed test and all the rest on the VirginMedia connection to everywhere but BF and it's fine ... about 45 MBps

so I suspect that this is a reoccurance of a problem several users had months ago, when the stability/speed of connection depends upon which API IP address your particular connection connects to at the BF end ... so that if there's a problem with one of the servers/routers in the API cluster, or a problem with load balancing and you're unlucky enough to be connecting to that IP address, then you have a cr@p connection.

of course, i'm guessing, but the last time that happened it wasn't resolved until a 'scheduled downtime', and i see there's one intended for early tomorrow morning ... so fingers crossed.

gus,

Very similar situation here. I'm getting normal speeds on Virgin, but massive delays in API calls.

Slow here, can't get better than a 2 second refresh.

yes again...

Yip, tried website, it's b*gg*red as well :(

Not on API but keep getting application errors, can't get a bet on.

Problems started in last 5min for me, It was fine before

ffs

It's refreshing prices but can't even cancel bets.

api fcked for me too

FFS I can't cancel bets but people can match me!!

&*^&**^&*^&*&^*(&^(^(^(!!!

JC, it may be possible to cancel bets if you go via my account and then current bets.

Thanks Eddie. I managed. It seems random whether it works or not, managed to get a little window where it was working.

Cancel all on the actual market on the web page was also screwed as I tried that way.

that scheduled maintenance seems to have worked for me and my VirginMedia connection.
How was it for you Contrarian?

gus,

Yes, fine here. (But it was fine by about 7pm yesterday anyway).

I don't about the rest of you, but I'm getting really slow bad response times this evening.

I hope tomorrow's maintenance will sort it out.

I just got dropped from API and couldn't log on again (though web site seemed ok), restarted and was ok.

"go figure" as our friends across the pond would say. Like, Dude

Delays again

Could be one of them saturdays :(
