Hello everyone, I am developing an application that requires many SPARQL queries to the wikidata server (1k-2k each time I test it). The application front-end is visible here: https://beta.water-fountains.org
I am just making SPARQL queries from a nodeJS server to get information about fountains. This has been working fine for about a year, until yesterday, when the connection started returning ECONNRESET or "Socket hang up". If I run the query from the browser instead of the server it works fine, and if I use a vpn, the NodeJS server is able perform the queries without issue. Here is an example query: link
Has anyone else had such an issue? Thanks! Matthew
Hello!
You might be hitting our throttling limits [1]. But that throttling should result in an HTTP 429 (too many requests) and not in a ECONNRESET. So there is something fishy here. I assume that your application is following our usual policies [2] and that you are using a custom user agent string to identify it. If that's the case, can you tell us what UA you're using, and I can have a look into the logs.
Thanks!
Guillaume
