Blockchain.info API error

[giantdragon]

I use Blockchain.info API on the Peerbet.org to get last Bitcoin block hash and currency rates. I make queries 1 per 30 seconds, recently I got an error:

Code:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://blockchain.info/latestblock): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests

Fix please this error.

Now API works normaly, but I want to know why this happened? Do I have exceeded limits? If so, lift them please for the peerbet.org.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I've been seeing these errors on my private site for the past couple of hours;

Code:

[Wed Feb 12 10:25:43.851659 2014] [:error] [pid 2010] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:33578] PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(https://blockchain.info/api/receive?method=create&address=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx8&callback=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable\r\n in /var/www/index.php on line 10

Code worked fine yesterday and no changes have been made this morning. Is anyone else aware of any problems?

I can confirm that there are huge problems @ Blockchain.info right now. Doens´t look good in my opinion.

I noticed the site was terribly slow yesterday, but I can login to my wallet and run API requests through my browser fine, just not via PHP\cURL or get_file_contents. I'm assuming CF is blocking certain requests as a protection measure...

Same problem, even with an API key.
