hi all! just FYI, it looks like Instagram is blocking/rate limiting App
Engine's IPs from fetching www.instagram.com, both urlfetch and sockets,
across apps. e.g. this session from https://shell-hrd.appspot.com/ :
>>> urllib2.urlopen('https://www.instagram.com/snarfed/')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
File
"/base/data/home/runtimes/python/python_dist/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py",
line 506, in http_error_default
raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
HTTPError: HTTP Error 429: Unknown
it's not 100% consistent - i occasionally see requests make it through -
but the majority get 429ed.
not holding my breath, but i figured you all might want to know, especially
in case cloud support people have lines of communication open with
instagram/facebook for this kind of thing.
