Crashing on mastodon.Mastodon.MastodonAPIError: General API problem.

[maximeborges]

I don't think I'm alone getting lot of errors on mastodon.social, and MastodonToTwitter seems to immediatly crash on the first error. Maybe we should add a queue to handle that ?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "MastodonToTwitter.py", line 212, in <module>
    new_toots = mastodon_api.account_statuses(ma_account_id, since_id = since_toot_id)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/mastodon/Mastodon.py", line 280, in account_statuses
    return self.__api_request('GET', '/api/v1/accounts/' + str(id) + '/statuses', params)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/mastodon/Mastodon.py", line 563, in __api_request
    raise MastodonAPIError('General API problem.')
mastodon.Mastodon.MastodonAPIError: General API problem.

It SHOULD yell loudly, but continue running... Is it actially stopping for you, or just complaining and continuing on?

[maximeborges]

I'm executing the python script in a screen with python3 MastodonToTwitter.py, and yes it's stopping on error

[halcy]

That's weird and shouldn't happen. I'll have to look into it.

I bumped into this problem just now ... we need better logging :)

Same here. If either API craps out it doesn't just raise the error and continue, it dies.

Same issue here (though in different lines):

Had a bunch of toots posted again to my Twitter timeline.

EDIT: The script just re-sent every toot to Twitter again. The other way round seems fine.
