API Error

Hello, I really like the site!

I am working on a project that uses song cover data, and I'm attempting to use your API as a data source. The search API functionality seems to be working well, but when I try to access individual objects to retrieve more detailed information, I'm consistently getting the same error:

{"error": {"code": 99999, "message": "A database exception occurred. Please use the following reference when reporting this problem: ERR_xxxxx"}}

where 'xxxxx' is a number starting with 5.

I'm using the "Accept: application/json" header when making these requests. When I remove that header, I get the HTML back, so that's a good sign, but the JSON API seems not to work for any query.

Here are some sample object URIs and the error code I receive for them:

Summertime ERR_53942

Sam Cooke ERR_53943

I'm Waiting for the Man ERR_53944

link ERR_53950

Fifth Dimension ERR_53951

Thanks for maintaining a great database!

Cheers,

Thanks for reporting the problem. It is fixed now.

Hello,

Can you provide us more information about your project?

Hi Bastien,

We're working on a data visualization that uses data on song covers. If we use secondhandsongs data in the final version, we'll be sure to credit you!

Thanks for resolving the error Mathieu!
