[twitter-dev] Re: friends/ids now returns w/ 1-5% random duplicates (as of this morning)
Hi Jesse, Just like to chirp in and say I'm seeing weirdness too. Particularly, / followers/ids is taking more than 10 seconds to return for all accounts with over 30k followers, or alternatively are failing with 401s (using OAuth tokens). Since 10s is the hard limit for AppEngine, my app cannot function without making repeated requests (which results in hitting another, involves-cash limit, not to mention the unpaid development time). My application is subsequently dead in the water for the users who rely on it most. abusive rant directed at ops management removed for brevity David On Sep 5, 8:40 pm, Jesse Stay jesses...@gmail.com wrote: I've disabled all our following scripts until we hear back from Twitter on this.

The duplicates follow either immediately or within 2 or 3 positions after each other. What's strange is that the duplicates are NOT the same if the call is repeated. Please help. This bug is new as of this morning.

So that is why my cron jobs are suddenly taking forever to complete, since Saturday morning. This 10 second delay is a new bug. In the past one just got a lot of 502 errors when retrieving really large accounts, but even those calls were seldom longer than 1 second.

Hey Jesse, I've seen random failures and timeouts in the past, but in the last 48 hours they have become very consistent. I've got 4 accounts that have just 'stuck'. Very tempted to just close up the app. David On Sep 6, 9:13 am, Jesse Stay jesses...@gmail.com wrote: David, that's a long-time issue, and I believe there may even be a few bugs open for it. Twitter has recommended you use the pagination methods for users with over a certain number of followers (they haven't seemed to be able to specify what that number is). Unfortunately, as we saw a couple days ago, even that's not reliable all the time.
