We use Google Base for an online shop we host. We used to use the data feed option, with a text file, but our client kept using invalid characters in the product descriptions. So we switched to an xml, but had more encoding issues. Eventually we moved to using the API. We made a simple php class that connects to the api, sends the login details, and retrieves the authentication token. We then send a single item to our account using the normal insert method by posting to /base/ feeds/items with atom xml content. We did not use the batch method, as we wanted to track the response of every item so we had a log of all items that may have failed. Up until early on this week, everything was working fine, and then it just stopped working. We created a test script that sent a simple item to our account and put that script on a number of different servers with different IP ranges. Only 2 of our servers that share the same IP range did not work. The insert returned a 405 Method Not Found, and a query returned a 404 Page Not Found.
After contacting our hosting provider, they assured us that no changes had been made to our server configuration. The only 2 causes that we could think of is that maybe an entry was added our hosting providers firewall that prevent access to Google, or that Google themselves has banned the IPs of the servers for some reason. But that wouldn't explain why we could still connect and retrieve the authentication token each time. I did check the dashboard, and the items were neither added or updated, or even disapproved. Any help would great Thanks. On Mar 6, 1:19 pm, Tom Wilson <[email protected]> wrote: > What kind of loads are we talking about here ?
