Getting 500 internal server exception when executing API calls

[sasik67]

Hi everyone..

                        I am trying to integrate Constant Contact API in our application. Downloaded Java libraries provided in github. But I don't know whats the problem with libraries,  sometimes we are getting exceptions. There is no consistency with API. Once see this image http://snag.gy/XMN0f.jpg for more info.

                       Even the error isn't saying anything to find out the problem atleast.

                       Re-programmed the integration using API end points. Same problem arises.  Working well for sometimes but sometimes getting this error. No consistency.

                       Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/contacts?api_key=xxxxxxxx&access_token=xxxxxxxxxx&email=john@doma...

                        I just need confirmation that, 'does the API working fine or having some issues'. It looks like having some issues. Plz let us know something about this to proceed further so that we will decide to integrate or not.

Sorry for the inconvenience and delayed response.  We had a system wide issue yesterday that was causing intermittent 500 errors.  Our operations team worked hard to resolve the issue and we have seen the sporadic 500 errors return to normal volumes.  You shouldn't see any problems using the Java SDK or the API directly going forward.

We are using API endpoints for making API calls. Now not getting any issues which I specified in my question.

Thanks for the reply.
