EU API throws "Unknown Username" Error #42

Closed pavog closed 8 years ago

pavog commented 8 years ago

Sometimes I get the {"error":"Unknown Username","query":"<name>"} error when I try parsing a username of me or my friends using the eu api https://eu.mc-api.net/v3/uuid/<name>. When I use the us api https://us.mc-api.net/v3/uuid/<name> it always works.

To replicate the error try my Minecraftname: EvilCodes

EU API https://eu.mc-api.net/v3/uuid/EvilCodes {"error":"Unknown Username","query":"EvilCodes"}

US API https://us.mc-api.net/v3/uuid/EvilCodes {"full_uuid":"ac4a2732-dd44-408b-8d4e-e0b6de14b2c1","source":"cache","query":"EvilCodes","name":"EvilCodes","took":1,"uuid":"ac4a2732dd44408b8d4ee0b6de14b2c1"}

I also tested some other names (of my friends) and it did not work on EU API (just US). When I test Mojangsters names it works (on US and EU)...

That issue is being addressed. It is caused by mojang's api rate limit, not our api. We are currently doing a rewrite of our server to help prevent this.

It also doesn't help that the "Not Found" result is cached for 30 minutes.
