Altmetric outage history

We are currently investigating an intermittent outage affecting the Altmetric Details API which is leading to periodic intervals of errors being return by the API.

We are continuing to investigate this issue.

A fix has been implemented which we are confident has resolved the intermittent Details API outages and we are now continuing to monitor the situation.

No further outages have been detected so the incident is now considered resolved.

We are currently experiencing a delay of around three days across all attention sources, caused by a backlog in our processing pipeline. We are working through it as quickly as possible. We will post an update as the backlog clears.

The processing backlog has cleared and attention sources are updating normally again.

We are currently experiencing a delay in the collection of news mentions. This is caused by an ongoing outage at one of our upstream news data providers, which is affecting the availability of their feed. Other attention sources are unaffected. The provider has confirmed they are working on a fix and currently expect service to be restored within the next couple of days. We will post an update as soon as we have more information.

The outage at our upstream news data provider is ongoing and news mention collection remains paused. Other attention sources are unaffected. The provider has confirmed they expect to begin restoring service over the weekend. We will post an update as soon as collection resumes.

The outage at our upstream news data provider is ongoing and news mention collection remains paused. Other attention sources are unaffected. The provider expects their service to begin coming back online during Monday, subject to their own testing. We will post an update as soon as collection resumes.

The outage at our upstream news data provider is ongoing and news mention collection remains paused. Other attention sources are unaffected. The provider has restored the service internally and is testing it overnight, with release expected once that testing completes. We will post an update as soon as collection resumes.

Our upstream news data provider has restored access to their API and news mention collection has resumed. Content published during the outage is being reprocessed on their side and may take a few days to become fully available. We will post an update once that backlog has cleared.

Our upstream news data provider is still reprocessing the content published during the outage. News mention collection itself has resumed, and mentions from the affected period will continue to appear as that reprocessing completes. We will post an update once it has finished.

News mention collection is running normally again. Some remaining content from the outage period is still being reprocessed by our upstream provider, so a small number of mentions from that window may continue to appear over the next few days.

A data processing delay issue has been identified for the Altmetric Explorer. The root cause has been remediated and data processing is now catching up. We expect some data discrepancies in the Altmetric Explorer until the data stream has fully recovered. We will update once this is complete.

Issues have been resolved and data stream is now fully caught up.

We are currently experiencing delays to our data processing pipeline which may result in out of date information being returned by the Altmetric API / Explorer / Detail Pages.

Data processing delays have now resolved, we are continuing to monitor to ensure no further issues

A critical incident currently affecting our CDN provider Cloudflare has led to service interruption across all Altmetric products. We are following upstream updates and will perform any recovery actions as required. We will update once we have further details.

Cloudflare CDN remediation efforts are on-going. Upstream progress on this incident can be monitored using the Cloudflare incident status page at https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/8gmgl950y3h7

Our upstream CDN Cloudflare has now identified the root cause of the incident and is in the process of restoring services. Interruptions to service for Altmetric applications are still possible at this point.

Cloudflare has now stated that the root cause of the incident has been fixed and they are continuing to monitor the situation as services stabilise. We continue to do the same.

Cloudflare has now confirmed that their services have returned to normal operation. Altmetric applications are also operating normally so we are closing this incident.
