    My faction's discord bot was having a similar issue as well, but I've only experienced it with faction calls. Occasionally it was returning no data at all. Perhaps you can look into the faction call specifically? https://api.torn.com/faction/?selections=basic,currency,donations&key=

Hi,

Members of the Torn API Discord and I have noticed that the JSON being returned from API responses is being truncated and not sending the full content.

It seems inconsistent - after getting this error, trying the same API call a few seconds later will return the complete content.

I think it was first seen yesterday? As of 2024-05-05 09:18:35 TCT, it's still happening.

I can also vouch for this, since yesterday I have also noticed some API calls returning incomplete responses.

I have noticed this with user requests with big bazaars or when fetching faction data (with members). I have not yet figured out why and when this happens

I'm unable to reproduce this, I.e. Running this large request many times: https://api.torn.com/torn/?selections=items&key=

If you see this error again, please provide the Cf-Ray in the Response Header, we should then be able to track the error causing this.

In case it's useful to have more than one - here's another Cf-Ray from a request w/ a truncated response:

One of the API pods was running on a new graviton instance which suddenly started producing occasional 'out of memory' errors. It looks like that was the issue, and it's been removed from the pool. We still intend on migrating all API pods over to graviton instances so it'll be worth us trying to figure out what was going wrong there.
