Can we please have LIVE API CHAIN request and remove the 29 seconds delay

It is the most important API call of all the APIs

And it is only 100 bytes long surly this would not be a strain on the servers

Chains can move very quickly and retrieving false info and delayed warnings, wrong chain count and a wrong timer is a nightmare

Please, Please, Please can you change this

Please see Chedburn's response here:

This is the best possible way for it to be right now.
Thanks.

I recommend using the thread you've started in 'API Development' to discuss this any further.

Mentions: Same response with different API calls (to/from)

Can this be reopened to see if we can up the 100 returned by fullattacks to 250-1000 since it's cached now?

can chedburn have a look into just the one API fix

Talk to a staff to get it reopened. (gluck.)

Meanwhile, I suggest intercepting the faction API package to satisfy your immediate needs (via some kind of userscript). Yes, there is a 5 second delay, but if you program a central hub to take in all the request from multiple people and spit it out to all your users, it can help get a very live updated system.
