Outage indicator
Christian.1408:
About two months ago there has been an outage for several days.
Lawton mentioned that he might add an off switch that comes along with an handy HTTP status code (e.g. 503) that indicates if the API is down.
Can we rely on this status code to be sent now?
Lawton Campbell.8517:
I… I should add that in today.
Christian.1408:
Thanks, Lawton!
That simplifies just so many things! :-)
Daenerys.7562:
I am having trouble using my API in GW2Timer.com/account I keep receiving the message that the api server may be down. Is this true?
Lawton Campbell.8517:
There were a couple of blips about an hour ago due to network connectivity, but aside from that I dunno. I’m not seeing any issues on my end; you could manually check
https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/account?access_token=1234-API-KEY-HERE-6789
to see if any errors are returned. There’s definitely a lurking bug or two that can cause an error to be persistently returned for an account — really not sure what causes it but I suspect it’s triggered by transferring across NA/EU.
