Issues with the FRC-Colors site and API

FIRST General Forum

Hey, I was wondering if anybody knew why it seems as if frc-colors.com is down. It’s been like this for a few days where I’m unable to call the API or use the site manually to retrieve team colors, where it infinitely loads. If anyone has some information in regards to the problem or their experience with the site/API, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Kane (Team 3255)

Also for anyone who may want to test the API, the Powershell command I use is

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://frc-colors.com/api/v1/team/3255" -Method Get

so if that works for someone else, it’s likely an issue with something locally, so it’d be helpful to know if anyone gets a response from this ping! Mine ends up inifinitely trying to ping it, which is why I had to use a timeout in case it’s not accessible.

The API looks down for me, too. @jonahsnider, could you please take a look?

Thanks for the heads up Didn’t want to ping Jonah in my post in case it was a personal issue, so thanks for doing that too!

API is back up and running! Thanks for the support on getting a fix :partying_face:

Edit: Looks like it’s down again :pensive:

Oops, sorry about that y’all - will investigate soon. I recently migrated the backend infrastructure (few days ago) and it looks like something wonky is going on with the DB.

Once I resolve the issue more permanently I’ll post an update here. Thanks for your patience!

Hey y’all, I added some debug logging last night and was able to catch the specific underlying issue after looking at the logs this morning. I just wrote a quick patch for the issue & deployed it, but I won’t have time to validate that it actually fixed everything until I can test more later tonight.

Of course - thanks for your patience! It looks like the fix has been stable so far, seems like that issue is resolved for good.

For the future, I’ve setup a status page for the API, which will also alert me ASAP if another outage occurs.
