Getting "Unknown Error" Exceptions randomly #30

Closed jonkratz closed 10 years ago

jonkratz commented 10 years ago

I began getting comments from users of our web app (http://instaglimpse.com), that things were randomly not working. After some research, I realized that there was an exception being thrown in the AUTH part of the app, but the exception is simply "Unknown Error" — I came here to see if there were any updates and then tried to use your example site (http://galengrover.com/projects/instagram/) and encountered the same issue: screen shot 2013-11-06 at 3 33 50 pm

I thought I'd open an issue here and see if anyone else has been encountering this random issue. Again, it happens every several requests. It has not been predictable.

:+1: You're not the only one. I also detected this just a couple of minutes ago.

Update: it looks like something is going on with Instagram's API: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/instagram-api-developers/2bIpdFqW6Js (and there are other posts too).

A good opportunity to implement better exception handling in my app.
