Error Response

{
    "status": 503,
    "type": "BadResponseException",
    "message": "Jikan failed to connect to MyAnimeList. MyAnimeList may be down/unavailable or refuses to connect",
    "error": null
}

NOTE: MyAnimeList is accessible on my end. So I think this is definitely a Jikan problem.

My backend is also now failing. Urgent please...

My backend doesn't do a DDOS because it only fetches jikan every 24 hours. And follows the rate-limit rules. I have 2 seconds delay per request.

Jikan was working perfectly fine before.

pinging you @irfan-dahir

seanbreckenridge commented 3 years ago

Theres been an issue with the hosting provider and a DDOS attack on Jikan in addition to that, which is causing the connection issues.

You can join the discord for updates

If you urgently need service back, you can host your own dockerized version and point your code at http://localhost:8000/v3 instead of the remote

xamantra commented 3 years ago

Oh, I see. You guys have discord. I'll try joining later.

The backend I'm talking about is being used in an app that isn't published yet so it's kinda fine.

xamantra commented 3 years ago

Too lazy to set up my own localhost. I'll just wait :)

skelikDev commented 3 years ago

We have the same error. We didnt do a lot of requests. But now, to be sure, I have created a delay of 4 seconds

irfan-dahir commented 3 years ago

Unfortunately, the ddos attack is still ongoing but it's no longer an issue as we've a system in place now that is automatically monitoring requests and flagging suspicious IPs.

If you think your IP has been mistakenly flagged (e.g the attacker's IP gets recycled to you), you can use https://api.jikan.moe/am-i-banned/ to check if it's blocked and then let us know - we'll remove it promptly.
