[ensembl-dev] Transitory problems on Ensembl REST server

[Paolo Cozzi]

Dear all,

When accessing some endpoint of ensembl REST server I got some transient 
errors, for example by doing the sample request using the three Linkage 
Disequilibrium endpoints I may find a 400 Status code and "Something 
went wrong while fetching from LDFeatureContainerAdaptor" message or 
"something bad has happened" message.

Other times, by querying info/species endpoint with "curl 
'http://rest.ensembl.org/info/species?division=ensembl' -H 
'Content-type:application/json'" I can obtain almost indentical results, 
for example for c.savignyi (inside the whole response) I could have:

{u'accession': None,
  u'aliases': [u'ciosav',
   u'51511',
   u'ciona savignyi',
   u'csavignyi',
   u'c.savignyi',
   u'csav',
   u'sea squirt ciona savignyi'],
  u'assembly': u'CSAV2.0',
  u'common_name': u'Sea squirt Ciona savignyi',
  u'display_name': u'C.savignyi',
  u'division': u'Ensembl',
  u'groups': [u'core', u'otherfeatures'],
  u'name': u'ciona_savignyi',
  u'release': 84,
  u'taxon_id': u'51511'}

And

{u'accession': None,
  u'aliases': [u'ciosav',
   u'51511',
   u'ciona savignyi',
   u'csavignyi',
   u'c.savignyi',
   u'csav',
   u'sea squirt ciona savignyi',
   u'ciona_savignyi csav2.0'],
  u'assembly': u'CSAV2.0',
  u'common_name': u'Sea squirt Ciona savignyi',
  u'display_name': u'C.savignyi',
  u'division': u'Ensembl',
  u'groups': [u'core', u'otherfeatures'],
  u'name': u'ciona_savignyi',
  u'release': 84,
  u'taxon_id': u'51511'}

(The second result has the 'ciona_savignyi csav2.0' alias added). Could 
you give me some suggestions?

Best Regards,

Paolo
