Since [two days ago][1], I'm experiencing random timeouts to some Api endpoints (Fitness, Drupal). You can check this odd behavior using these links: http://www.stackprinter.com/topvoted?service=drupal.stackexchange&tagged=&page=3&pagesize=30 http://www.stackprinter.com/topvoted?service=fitness.stackexchange&tagged=&page=3&pagesize=30 In case of application timeout, could you check if the Urlfetch is properly reaching the SE end? I remember to have suffered the same problem [3 months ago][2].
