sandbox down?

It should be back now.

Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks,

It looks there is a problem with production Geni, I am getting since yesterday the following error message in very simple message:

{'error': {'type': 'ApiException', 'message': 'Rate limit exceeded.'}}

Actually, I am not overloading... (or ther threshold is quite low :))

The rate limit should be 1000 requests / milli-second.

Are you still getting that error?

What I observed:

- It usually fails after 10-15 calls. Usually at immediate family.
- I am doing one call per second (quite far from the limit)
- If I introduce an sleep of around 1 second between calls (so, 2 seconds per call in total), it works now.

I played a little bit, and the more I reduce the sleeping time, the more failures I have.

Rate limit depends on your connection, see https://www.geni.com/platform/developer/help/rate_limits?version=1

If just using a public or cookie-based calls it is as little as 5 requests per 10 seconds

Well, mine should provide 40 calls each 10 seconds. It was working quite ok before this week.

Now neither 5 requests per 10 seconds work

Any solution?

What URL are you using?
Why do you need such a high request rate?

Hi,

I am using several urls of profiles. The main calls are profile and inmmediate_family.

I am trying to syncronize my data from my database to Geni (and viceversa), so that, I am checking if profiles in my database have changed and also in Geni (don't panic, I am introducing a threshold for revision again, waiting one year for each profile for review).

That's why there are so many calls, as just checking the latest update time.

Can you give me a specific URL so I can test it?

My script goes through several profiles, and suddently one crushes with the rate limit exceeded.

I just tested 5 minutes ago and failed on this one:
Privateimmediate-family

Are you specifying more than one profile per request?

Yes for some of the calls. Depends on the location of the script

I approved your app on sandbox.

Please try again and let me know if there are any issues.
