Journey API internal errors

1

Hello,

We have some routine tasks that have started to experience 500 internal error exceptions today.

Example call:
https://api.tfl.gov.uk/Journey/JourneyResults/1016430/to/1001221?nationalSearch=true&mode=national-rail&app_id=dba8183b&app_key=APIKEY

The query filters for National Rail services between Heathrow T5 and Paddington.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Tim

A 500 normally means you’re hammering the API with too many requests.

Perhaps you can cache the result for a bit at the client end?

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the reply. The problem has resolved itself.
We’ve been slow and steady on our usage for over a year, and the 500’s just started, and then went away again.

Cheers,

Tim

@TimH I’m pleased to hear the issue has cleared itself.
