Public API extremely slow / inaccessible #32

dylanpyle commented 8 years ago

API requests seem to be somewhere between "extremely slow" and "totally inaccessible". This one took about 54 seconds:

$ time curl https://restcountries.eu/rest/v1/all
... long pause ...
[{"name":"Afghanistan"... etc }]

curl https://restcountries.eu/rest/v1/all  0.02s user 0.01s system 0% cpu 54.300 total

Seeing the same issue now. https://restcountries.eu/rest/v1/all is not loading at all.

Hello guys. I'm aware of this issue. I contacted my server provider and apparently there's a "Electrical maintenance" going on. I'll take further steps so that this wont happen again in the future. I'm very sorry for this.

As you may have noticed, the service is back! I'm sorry for the downtime!
