Hi, I was just wondering whether reconciliation is down (for everyone) at the moment, or whether it's just me?

It was working for me on Monday (13th), but today I'm getting a "502 Bad Gateway" error. (At 3pm this afternoon, and again when trying again now at 10pm).

Just wondered whether this is likely to be a server-side issue; or whether some problem has come up my end (eg firewall issue?)

Thanks!

Interesting! It is working now as far as I can tell, but in general you are right that it is really not as stable as it should.

I don't know what I can be doing wrong then... I've tried turning Windows firewall off, tried versions 3.2 beta, 3.2 stable, 3.3 rc1, tried reconciling a different file -- still seeing the same thing.

Curiously when I added a column with a single Q-number, and asked it to reconcile that, that worked. But try a column of actual strings, and I'm getting the 502 error

It seems I can successfully reconcile to VIAF, using the service by RDM Page, just not Wikidata.

I tried putting in the Wikidata API address as an additional reconciliation service and got the following onscreen warning, even though the link seems to give a response when just put into a web-browser address bar:

"Error contacting recon service: error : Not Found - Error contacting recon service: timeout : timeout - https://tools.wmflabs.org/openrefine-wikidata/en/api"

Now seems to be working again.

Oops, you were right indeed! I restarted the service this morning. I really need to find a more reliable hosting provider than toollabs.
