Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

[Lisa Brooks <lisa AT issuelab.org>]

Hi all - 

Just wondering if there is any news about the status of the CC API? We still are getting a "we're sorry/service down" message. Is there a particular version of the API that we should switch to -- currently set up to use 1.5. We are not able to display CC chicklets or specific license info, or links to more info about a licence, and our license chooser is also down because of this API issue. 

Appreciate any updates! ~Lisa

Thanks Jennifer for this info. Very helpful. CC - is there any plan to get this back up and running again....soon? We are now just showing a generic "Creative Commons License" in lieu of having a way to show actual licenses.

I can confirm that the development version and version 1.5 of the API are currently down. The 1.0 version of the API is up but it's still broken because it's not being sent in XML format. At the root of all of these there should be an XML document that looks like this:

<licenses>
  <license id="standard">Creative Commons</license>
  <license id="publicdomain">Public Domain</license>
  <license id="recombo">Sampling</license>
</licenses>

It's possible that something was upgraded on the server recently that broke the API. I'm not sure how many websites are currently affected but I think it's safe to say this is broken on all of them.

Hi - we are getting an error message anywhere we are using CC's API. This link to a screenshot shows one of our post-login forms where we offer the CC license chooser. This display/mechanical problem has been going on since last week. Is the service just completely down? Appreciate your help - thanks. ~Lisa
