Soundcloud API "Request was not processed"

Question

I'm seeing a new error via the Soundcloud API. It is intermittent, so it may be backend+bug related or it could be a sign of further reduced access to the Soundcloud API.

A User request now returns the following:

https://api.soundcloud.com/users/cadenzamusic?client_id=CLIENT_ID (replace CLIENT ID with your own)

An HTTP/1.0 200 OK response is returned, but I'm getting the following string, rather than the User JSON object as expected:

Request was not processed by the server due to an error and is safe to retry

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I just started seeing this too, worst part is the error isn't JSON so my app crashes. SoundCloud just posted a notice that they are experiencing issues. I hope the resolve it soon and maybe implement a better mechanism for sending us errors in the future. status.soundcloud.com/post/150446721145/… — MSB

As I stated earlier this was an error on SoundClouds part. Their servers were experiencing issues and it seems that they have resolved since 17:26 CET/ 08:26 PST

If you want more information on the status check out their post here. When experiencing similar issues in the future it might prove useful to check the SoundCloud status page to see if they are aware of any issues.
