Wow-Ratings??? What Happened?

[Drarkan]

Hey guys, I've noticed a lot of blackened out toons, mine in particular, and others, and I've tried to update my data on the website, but nothing would process. I tried adding a couple characters to a team, in replacing other toons, but nothing seemed to process. The site is up, but the data servers seem to be messed up.

working on it. Blizz has changed the way they store the toon info, i need to adapt wow-ratings to it.
Hopefully will be able to do it shortly

[Zub]

the multi-sigs should start refreshing again now, for example:

Still need to fix the titles and other small details on those.

Maxi Lists will come next.
Should take too long tomorrow now that i've got the engine running again.

Then the pages to create new sigs.

Thanks for your patience
Cheers

Hey Zub,

Does Blizzard still have a limiter on their server config which limits the amount of requests per IP per 60 minutes?

[Drarkan]

Ok, seems like you dissabled the Maxi List modify as when I try to get in, its not allowing me to. Signs of maintenance in progress! WOHOO. Can't brag about my toons without it! LOL

[Zub]

@tim, the API has a 3000 request a day limit if you're not registered.
@Drarkan, the existing sigs should start refreshing now. I've only blocked the edit/creation of new sigs as that still needs to be updated.

Hey Zub, if you are not registered, you mean Blizzard has a program to allow more access towards their API?

When I was the CEO of Wowhead I signed all the contracts and requirements for the Fansite and special access program, and I don't remember any API access.

Is it something new?

Really curious

A while back I might have known somebody who has 256 IP addresses pooled for 100's of thousands of requests a day

[Zub]

Yes the api is somewhat new

[Tim]

Hey Zub, did you make the Forest Maker?
