These are the urls for a couple of my valid endpoint tests of the /revisions methods.
- http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/revisions/2688191 (?key=xxx)
- http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/revisions/2350874/d6b99e8e-0f6c-4f68-92d0-6a050feea1fc?fromdate=1245345415&todate=1308417415 (?key=xxx)
These urls are valid but very often I recieve
{ "error": { "code": 500, "message": "A generic error has occurred on the server; developers have been notified." } }
If I retry immediately the same error is returned. If I wait a few minutes before retrying it seems to work fine. this happens more often with the first url (/revisions). in fact if you hit it and refresh a few times you are likely to get a repro.
It is as if the endpoint 'heats up and needs to cool down' or there is an undocumented, harsh and anonymous throttle being implemented (i doubt this).
ooooeeeeee, whassup up widat? whassup up widat?
