We are working on a more formal notification process to notify you of outages and issues. Until then, I shall be posting information about outages here (unless, of course, the problem is that the forum is offline).

Paul

Outage:

The developer forums were offline Sunday evening 3/8 an into the early morning of 3/9 due to a disk capacity overflow on the forum database server. This has been fixed and more disk space is being added.

Thanks, Paul!

Hey all:

Planned Service outage

Methods affected: get_top_hottt_artists, get_hotttnesss Duration: 36 hours

We are performing a large scale data ingestion and database upgrade. As a result, our two 'hotttnesss' related calls: get_top_hottt_artists and get_hotttnesss will be unavailable until the ingestion is complete. We expect this to take 1 or 2 days. Full service should be restored by late March 13. If you call these methods you will receive a return status of 'service unavailable'.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Paul

Hey all:

We had an unplanned outage of the developer APIs this morning. There's a bug that needs quashing. Apologies. Everything is back on line now.

Paul

Hey all:

We've restored the methods for retrieving news, reviews and blogs. The quality of the results should be improved as well.

Paul

We had an unplanned outage of the developer site and APIs this morning. Things are back online now. The problem was isolated to our internal queuing mechanism which has been restarted. The engineers are doing a post-mortem now to make sure that it doesn't happen again.

Apologies for the outage.

Paul

Hey all:

We are currently experiencing some reduced functionality for the web services. Some requests for certain artists may fail to be serviced. Full functionality shall be restored soon. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Paul

Things are back up and running at 100%. Back to work everyone.

Paul

hey all:

We are updating the web services today. Minor bug fixes and performance improvements. You probably won't notice anything different, but if you do notice anything, especially anything bad, let me know.

Paul

What would a software upgrade be if it didn't have a few glitches? Our logs are showing that a small number of web service requests are failing when they shouldn't be. We are taking a look. If this seems to be an ongoing problem, we'll roll back to the previous version. I'll keep you posted.

Paul

We had a short outage this afternoon. Some gremlins in the closet. Everything is back up. Apologies

Paul

Hey all:

We are seeing very slow track analysis times this morning. We'll restore full speed as soon as possible.

Paul

Hey all:

Thanks for your patience - track analysis is now back online at 100%.

Paul

Is the problem back? Everything I upload never makes it past PENDING.

Ryan

ryan:

Yes, things are working now. We had a short stall in the analysis queues and that leads to backlog so analyze make take longer than usual, but they should be getting through.

Paul

Thanks, Paul.

Ladies, Gentleman:

We are having some infrastructure troubles today so our analyze function is currently offline. If you are using the trackUpload method you will experience errors (http response code 500). I'll let you know when things are back online.

There will be some intermittent API outages over the next hour or so while we continue to upgrade the infrastructure. We'll keep you posted on our status. Sorry for any inconvenience it might have caused

Yury

As you may have noticed (hopefully not) part of the API links is very slow now - this is because we are in the final (hopefully) leg of copying our data to a new server. We apologize profusely for any inconvenience it may have caused. We chose what we believe to be the slowest time of the year for this move and hope that the impact is minimal. We are trying to have the whole thing done by 9 am EST on December 30-th. Thank you very much for your patience!

All systems are back to normal now, we will let you know if there are any further outages needed. Thank you very much for your patience.
