miniWallOfDataServiceError

I'm playing around with the api and have run into a problem. When I try to query many times in a short timespan I get the following response:

{"errorCode":"miniWallOfDataServiceError"}

What does this error actually mean? How many queries (per second?) can I do before I get this repsonse.

 

I doesn't run into your error but I am using delayed queries as an habit

2s between queries seems to be reasonable


Also, if you are fetching characters, you can fetch multiple at a time, saving resources on both end

?id=111111111,2222222,333333333,etc...

 

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, I get the problem when querying for character events, which means I need to do 3 separate queries for a single character. This means a lot of queries to get the data for a whole outfit and would take a long time when querying sequentially even when you don't incorporate a delay at all. I was hoping to get some concrete triggers for this error, so I could schedule the queries accordingly.

 

What are you trying to accomplish ? maybe there is a workarround
Can you provide your queries so I can try to help if I can

 

I'm trying to produce detailed statistics based on character events. Which means I want as much as kills,deaths and vehicle destroy events as possible. Unfortunately you can only get 1000 events for each query, so you need 3 queries for all 3 types of events. I don't know how to get more in a single query, but if you know a workaround let me know. These are the queries I'm using:

characters_event?id=5428010618030654913&type=KILL&c:limit=1000
characters_event?id=5428010618030654913&type=DEATH&c:limit=1000
characters_event?id=5428010618030654913&type=VEHICLE_DESTROY&c:limit=1000

 

You cant have more than 1000 per PAGE

Page 1

Code:

characters_event?id=5428010618030654913&type=KILL&c:limit=1000&c:start=0

Page 2, etc...

Code:

characters_event?id=5428010618030654913&type=KILL&c:limit=1000&c:start=1000

not tested with events, but works fine with other parts of the API.

 

I already tried that and it seems that the character events are a bit special in that regard. You can only get the first 1000.

 

I know it limits your data down more but you can do multiple values separated by commas, example:
