Hello, I am extracting wikipedia articles via mediawiki API (example : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&prop=text&page=Olive&format=xml ) and it's working quite well most of the time but sometimes the API makes a delay to answer or worse I got no response at all from the API and my request fall into timeout (tried many different CURL timeout params to resolve it but nothing is absolutely safe (ie : 2 retries + 7 sec exec timeout) ...
The problem occurs randomly on any size of article (big or small). And I noticed that after a failure it always work with a second manual attempt... TECH: I am using package SxWiki (SxWiki.inc.php) + CURL methods included CURL ERROR: Operation timed out after 7000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received *** Do you know that kind of problems with the API ? Wikipedia API overload ?? Im trying to find a solution for weeks now and no method is 100% reliable! Thank you for your help. Oskar
