hi all! just FYI, it looks like Instagram is blocking/rate limiting App Engine's IPs from fetching www.instagram.com, both urlfetch and sockets, across apps. e.g. this session from https://shell-hrd.appspot.com/ :
>>> urllib2.urlopen('https://www.instagram.com/snarfed/') Traceback (most recent call last): ... File "/base/data/home/runtimes/python/python_dist/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 506, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp) HTTPError: HTTP Error 429: Unknown it's not 100% consistent - i occasionally see requests make it through - but the majority get 429ed. not holding my breath, but i figured you all might want to know, especially in case cloud support people have lines of communication open with instagram/facebook for this kind of thing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
