Folding Forum

Hello,
I've been using the JSON over HTTP API endpoints over the past two weeks to collect historical folding data about my team, but as of earlier today I'm getting no responses from it.
Base API = api foldingathome ...

1) I'm wondering if this API is being deprecated with no warning?

2) Should I transition to the stats API with Base API = stats foldingathome ... ?

3) And I was wondering why there are two API endpoints in the first place anyway that give similar data.

Thanks

P.S. not allowing U.R.Ls in this post made it frustrating to fix and attempt posting over and over. And probably less likely to be understood
P.S.S I searched for any existing topic about the stats or JSON api, but found none, resorted to here

Welcome to the F@H Forum csmith,

If the API was working previously and not today, it would most likely be that the F@H Servers are being overloaded and the Stats database is unable to process any new connection.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I'd recommend looking up your team here: https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com ... ist.php?s=
ExtremeOverclocking downloads the flat files from the stats website, then uses that to build graphs.

Put them in "

For me, the API still works.
Out of curiosity, how do you pull the data?

I was originally told not to use the API to pull data: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=33021
Defeats the point of an API, but I get it, if everyone were to do what extremeoverclocking are doing, not through a periodically provided stats file but through constant (live) queries, the system would be worse off.
