API Issue - 500 error

edited September 2013 in API Vote Up0Vote Down
I'm getting a HTTP 500 error with the Catalog > List method.
If I call the method with either no 'type' specified, or 'type=part' then it's throwing the 500 error after around 5 seconds. The only content in the response is '0'

Maybe a server timeout issue? Reason I ask is if I specify 'type =minifigure or set, then it does return JSON but it does it under 5 seconds.

Also, is there any value in you creating an 'API / Programming' forum category? Might be good to help keep the API feedback and suggestions together and not in the way of other forum business!

Thanks.

  • That'll be the API trying to eat all of the ram. I will make that more efficient now.
  • Okay that shouldn't error now, let me know how long it takes to download it without a type filter. I could shrink it a lot by removing the Permalink.
  • Yep - much better, thanks for the quick response. :)
    It's about 20 seconds download for the full file - that's actually not too bad, especially as my app will be caching this data in a filecache on the client anyway, so this method will only be called when the user wishes to refresh the master catalog.
