My company uses a systemd service that makes rest api calls to the podio API in a python wrapper on a services server. The process takes in bugsnag bugs, checks that a podio bug item with that external ID already exists, and then creates a new podio bug if no associated podio bug exists and updates any existing item if one does exist. Recently, this check was behaving unpredicatably. It would encounter a request for a given bugsnag ID and for no discernable reason would fail to find a podio bug with a matching external ID on one call, and then successfully find one the next call. The specific API rest call is https://developers.podio.com/doc/items/filter-items-4496747, filtering by external ID.
We haven't been able to recreate the issue on local testing, and reverting the code running on our services server to before a major refactor (the issue started happening around the same time) didn't stop the issue from happening. Was there a change in how the filter request works recently? Even so, that wouldn't explain why we are getting different responses for the same call.
