Using the API text and API image app, I’m no longer able to see output from those 2 apps (I authored both) to to private servers I host. It was working up until yesterday, it works locally and I see a preview on the Tidbyt mobile app, as well as my other devices. However it no longer displays on the Tidbytscreen. Anyone have insight?
Are you able to see the any hits in your logs on your servers ?
Yeah, the requests are getting through to the servers but I think the response I get back is non-200 status code. The API text app actually requests data from https://newsdata.io, which when I tested locally was working but not working on the Tidbyt.
Everything looks to be working again…weird
It’s possible that newsdata.io was blocking Tidbyt’s server IP address for a while.
All apps are run on Tidbyt’s servers, so all API calls originate from their server’s IP address. If an app has a large number of users, sometimes the API host might block requests for a while because for them the requests are all coming from the same source.
