    We got an abnormal amount of "API calls":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTWEBSITE-137 during the last few days. To preserve the site performance for everyone we decided to disable the API for a little while. We know why we got this load and it should be sorted soon(tm). I'll post here when we know more.

    Also we blocked 11 IPs today for very high traffic, they will be unblocked shortly now that we know what hit us. :)

    Update: A new version of the API "has been released":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/5451/P30/#38130 and it's open again.

      Hi Marius,

      Just wondering what was it?

      Write “Qt”, not “QT” (QuickTime).

        It was probably an issue with the chrome plug-in, Vass is on it. We compared notes on IRC earlier and I think a bugfix there should solve it. No kittens were harmed in this experiment.

          Ah, that's why clicking the extension this morning did not do much.
          Talking about kitten, found an injured jaguar that was hit by a car last weekend when driving home.

              Lol, no this one was furry and a bit bigger then your regular kitten :) , too big for petting.
              A veterinary brought it to the local zoo, so I guess it will be alright.

                  correct.
                  I also like looking at them, if there is some fence between me and them :-)

                    I hope I didn't cause any excess traffic to the API URLs. You should be able to tell from the user-agent string though. My client is set to poll the profile once every 60 secs whilst I am developing it.

                    I am slowly getting closer to a 0.1 release...just having to gain some experience with QML on my way.

                      As mariusg told, some people did get an ip-ban. :) So when you still can post without changing your ip, i dont think its you who causes the problem.

                        Well I am getting a Forbidden response from the server but that might be due to the global disabling of the API rather than an IP-specific access restriction.

                            Yep, the front end server will return a "403 Forbidden" on API urls until we're back at sane levels.

                              I am sad that I live in a country where most species of animal can only be seen in a zoo, and not in the wild. That includes jaguars.

                                if they are also seen in the wild, you have to take care where you are around, and might not just walk anywhere in the outside....

                                    We're still getting a very high amount of API hits on the front end server. See graph:

                                    !http://dl.dropbox.com/u/217336/cache-server-hits_0411.png!

                                    The low level you see on the left is the normal request rate.

                                    Those requests are now taken care of by the cache server only (giving 403s) so they don't affect the site performance. The requests never make it to the web server layer and below.

                                    Vass has a new version of the plugin ready so as soon as that is tested and deployed I expect it to take a little while for the browsers out there to get updated and we will see the drop to normal traffic. As soon as we see that we will enable the API again.

                                        In the wild you never see them even though they are around, when camping in the forest you can see their tracks because they sometimes follow you in circles. But never heard of someone being attacked by a jaguar afaik. Btw. the biggest risk here is to be killed by falling tree or simply getting lost :)

                                        Write “Qt”, not “QT” (QuickTime).

                                          On topic: Just saw that the extension got updates to 0.9.96. I hope that this will fix it and get things back on track, getting withdrawal symptoms :-)
