We incurred some downtime today due to a database issue. We're repairing it now and should be back up shortly.

Deal volume dropped precipitously today. We'll be taking a look and report back. Sorry for the trouble.

Back in action.

Doing some maintenance on Sqoot. Sit tight.

Three days of uptime in a row. As it should be.

Yesterday we finally had a day without service interruptions. Still keeping an eye out on QoS. Ping help@sqoot.com if you have issues.

Requests queueing up. We're scaling up capacity to respond.

Decreasing the maximum number of results for searches to 100 as we debug performance/downtime issues.

API is back online. We repaired a database, which seems to have fixed intermittent request errors. Please email help@sqoot.com for help.

Putting the API in maintenance mode to perform some repairs. It should be down for an hour at most.

API disruption over the last 12+ hours. We're installing better monitoring right now to find out what's wrong.

As of today, v1 has been shut down. You should see a considerable performance improvement in v2. #FTW

If you happen to use our feed to grab deals in other countries, you'll see LivingSocial drop off. We only support U.S. deals.

A friendly reminder to all our customers that v1 is going away Jan. 1st! That's just 20 days away. Migrate today! docs.sqoot.com/v2/migrate.ht…

Geocoding is back.

Location-based searches are down at the moment. Working on a fix now. Sit tight!

Sqoot's looking for a technical lead (bit.ly/sqootme). Know any all-star Ruby developers that fit the bill? Much love.

Trouble with rate limits? We just pushed a fix that should sort you out. Email help@sqoot.com with problems.

API is back up. Deals in v1 & v2 are coming back online now. Location-based searches are working again. Email help@sqoot.com for help.

We're taking the API down to roll out these changes. Sit tight.
