However, there are some parts of the idea that I haven't been able to solve, so I thought I'd post the idea here, start a forum on BM to discuss the idea, and see if all together, we can get the idea far enough evolved that it sounds like it might actually work. I've had a new project in mind, following in the footsteps of BookMooch, for a few years. I suspect that is not the real reason, but actually it's because Amazon has changed APIs.
The error they are sending back to us is that we are "throttled" for sending too many requests. Searching via Amazon is not working at the moment. It's likely that my moving us to use .uk wasn't executed perfectly by me, and some bugs remain. In the meantime, if you encounter a page that should work on BM but doesn't, please post info about that here. I'm working to resolve this problem with Amazon, but it might take a while, or not get resolved at all. They subsequently canceled our Amazon API access.īM uses Amazon as a source for new book data.Īt the moment, I've changed BM to use .uk, as there doesn't seem to be a problem there. That makes no sense since I don't do this.
RSSOWL FEEDS YOU HAVE NOT DISPLAYED FREE
I was in France last week, and hiking I came across a free library with the sign: "LITTLE SHARING LIBRARY: take a book, in exchange, bring one here!"Ī few days ago, Amazon sent me an email that we were not complying with their terms of service, citing something about our linking to Amazon from social networks. The past two times it crashed (this morning and yesterday) this RSSOwl user was requesting 14 pages per second, so I'm pretty sure they're the cause of the problem. Sorry for the long delay in figuring this out, but hopefully BookMooch will not crash now. I might put some sort of "max pages you can request per day" limit in the future, say at a big number, such as 1000 per day, if I find other out-of-control programs causing heck. To guard against this problem, and similar problems in the future, I've limited all RSS users to 100 page requests per day. If you think it's you, can you drop support an email? and they'll help you configure your RSSOwl program to behave. Now, it's very likely this user didn't realize what they were doing, when they perhaps checked an option to pound the heck out of the server. There's a user in Italy using the program RSSOwl, and who, on average, requests 144,489 RSS pages every day from BookMooch. This past few weeks, BookMooch has crashed a few times, and I've been having a hard time figuring out why. BookMooch Blog : John's official BookMooch Blog
