hey everyone,
I've noticed some of users are not using an HTTP transport method, but
instead a file stream to read from the API. If you are using a file stream
method, like file_get_contents in PHP you will be getting XML load errors
whenever the request you make returns with an error. This is because the
file stream method returns false rather than the content of the XML when an
error is detected.
We strongly recommend using an HTTP transport for talking with the API. This
way you can inspect the headers we return to you and also the status code.
You also get our hash element with the error text in it:
I've compared the XML structure to the ones in the API docs and they are
still the same.
If you are using a library like curl and are still getting the XML load
error could you give us an example of the content you are getting back so we
can work out why this might be happening.
Thanks,
Matt

Did you change the XML format today our application which has worked
for a year reading XML data all of the sudden does not function
today? Was there a format change without notice?
