I issue an authenticated call to /venues/venue_id but I get a 500 error

"Foursquare servers are experiencing problems. Please retry and check status.foursquare.com for updates."

I make about 60 of these calls, and only ~20 of them fail. It just started failing 3 days ago. Any ideas? What else do I need to provide?

Edit: The call I am making is:

https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/4ae2619bf964a520d58d21e3?oauth_token=xxxx&v=20120201

I make about 30 of these, and 10-12 work just fine, but the remaining fail. I tried the Foursquare API Explorer and I still get a 500 response.

  • Could you be a bit more specific about the kinds of calls you're making? 500s generally mean something is wrong on our end, but we definitely have not been serving 33% 500s over the last few days, so it's probably something unique about your request. If you could paste the URLs you're hitting (without the OAuth token), it'd be helpful. – smehmood May 07 '12 at 19:00

My API requests suddenly started working. No word why.
