download failing

[brucegifford]

I have been using the module for a couple of years. I pull down latest data every week when preparing the sacrament printed program to validate spellings of names etc. A little over a week ago, things just stopped working. I haven't changed anything in my script. The signin still works but I get a 504 error when downloading the current-user-units json from this url: https://www.lds.org/mobiledirectory/services/ludrs/1.1/unit/mobile/current-user-units
I can see the same error in chrome. The page says:
Gateway Timeout
The proxy server did not receive a timely response from the upstream server.
Reference #1.64321cb8.1559162222.2ec9369

I wondering if anyone can verify if this happens to them as well. I tried it on a second computer with the same results.

If I run lds_org.py (running python3.5.3 under Windows 10) with this command line:
-e current-user-units --log -
I see this output:

I have been using this for a couple years as well and am getting the same thing. Did you figure anything out yet?

[brucegifford]

Thanks for the comment. You are the only person who has said anything so at least I have confirmation that it is not just my system. I have not heard any reply at all yet at this point. Still stuck

So from my research I came to the conclusion that this API provided by the church is most likely broken and not supported anymore (IMO. Maybe I'm wrong).

So I found & switched to another library and API that works. I've found everything I used to use in this API so hopefully it'll work for you as well.

Thanks for the information. I went and looked at the new API and found that it seems to work but not for me because I am not an official clerk or leader in the ward so I get "access denied" errors. I did have my son try it with his credentials since he is an Executive Secretary in his ward. He was able to access the move in/out list but the membership list url was returning a "file not found" web page.

Yah the member list worked for me a couple weeks ago, but this week it’s a 404 for me too.
