Same problem, even with an API key.

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

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...

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?

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.

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.
