Hi - we are getting an error message anywhere we are using CC's API. This
link to a screenshot shows one of our post-login forms where we offer the
CC license chooser. This display/mechanical problem has been going on since
last week. Is the service just completely down? Appreciate your help -
thanks. ~Lisa

Hi Matt,
Did you get a change to get to this?

Not yet, it's on my to-look-at list this week.

I can confirm that the development
version<http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/dev>and version
1.5 <http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.5> of the API are currently
down. The 1.0 version <http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.0/> of the API
is up but it's still broken because it's not being sent in XML format. At
the root of all of these there should be an XML document that looks like
this:

<licenses>
<license id="standard">Creative Commons</license>
<license id="publicdomain">Public Domain</license>
<license id="recombo">Sampling</license>
</licenses>

It's possible that something was upgraded on the server recently that broke
the API. I'm not sure how many websites are currently affected but I think
it's safe to say this is broken on all of them.

Thanks Jennifer for this info. Very helpful. CC - is there any plan to get
this back up and running again....soon? We are now just showing a generic
"Creative Commons License" in lieu of having a way to show actual licenses.

I can confirm that the development version<http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/dev>and version
1.5 <http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.5> of the API are currently
down. The 1.0 version <http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.0/> of the
API is up but it's still broken because it's not being sent in XML format.
At the root of all of these there should be an XML document that looks like

Hopefully we can fix it quickly.

The content of 1.0 is the correct XML, but the headers are returning
Content-Type: "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1". Changing the content type to
"application/xml; charset=utf-8" should fix everything.

Hi all -

Just wondering if there is any news about the status of the CC API? We
still are getting a "we're sorry/service down" message. Is there a
particular version of the API that we should switch to -- currently set up
to use 1.5. We are not able to display CC chicklets or specific license
info, or links to more info about a licence, and our license chooser is
also down because of this API issue.

Appreciate any updates! ~Lisa
