Slow Response Times (Prod and Sandbox)

saustin — Sat, 17 Mar 2018 01:25:15 GMT

Hello. I am experiencing less than desireable response times (sometimes time outs) against both the Prod and Sandbox APIs. I can consistently reproduce 10-20 second response times using tools like Fiddler and Postman. Is this amount of time considered normal? See example below (17 second response time against Production)

Does anybody else observe the same response times?

I'm doing some Hosted CIM to Accept Customer conversion testing in sandbox, and i am getting some failed responses. I'm guessing it's related to yesterday's update? https://status.authorize.net/#

Interesting. Can I ask you what kind of response times you normally get from /xml/v1/request.api and your approx geolocation? I am finding it hard to get information from anyone, especially the Authorize team.

Your 10-20 second response times you are getting are really high.

I just posted some getCustomerProfileRequests to https://apitest.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api

Here are the Postman response times, I'm in Ohio:

1265 ms
294 ms
260 ms
497 ms
317 ms
396 ms

I'm not a network expert, but if you do a "tracert apitest.authorize.net" in a command prompt, are there any network segments with high response times? Maybe there is a problem in between for you.
