8.1.9 seems to have fixed the issues I was having for One World searches ^ Thx

Just shows that you are at the mercy of the KVS tool support person(s) to figure out a new way to screen scrape the data whenever the (free) source data/websites are changed.

What is this numbering thingie in mobile-companion? Is there a limit on queries?

Code:

324/400 Queries

Is this a weekly or a monthly limit? 400 is a merge number!

KVS Tool has a 400 queries limit, it seems. But I cannot find out whether that's a daily, weekly, or monthly limit and when it gets reset.
Anybody has any insights?

Mobile Companion usage limits are set on a calendar monthly basis.

dns name resolution issue
 
www.kvstool.com is an unresolvable name.

the domain of kvstool.com is fine, but www.kvstool.com returns SERVFAIL, has the hosting service gone dark?

One of our hosting providers had experienced a server outage earlier on today, which was affecting access to the KVS Tool Homepage.

The issue has now been resolved.

Seems like I have all the luck... bumping my own thread of two years ago having googled "KVS Tool down"!

I can't get the mobile site, website or desktop tool to work today. Is there an outage and if planned, until when?

Thanks...

Hmmm thought the temp registration code should be sent in real time. Been waiting a bit now for it and haven't received it yet. Nothing in the spam/junk folder either :[

*Resolved*

I'm getting the following error message:

Datasource error [R1]:

"Error 400--Bad Request"
Does anyone have any idea what this might be?

Probably the underlying website the KVS application is trying to scrape data from to perform that search has changed.

As KVS does not pay for data there is always a risk that the underlying websites it scrapes data from will change to make it not possible for KVS to use, so any of the advertised KVS features may stop working at any point.

Yes, but only until another "method" gets broken by legal owners of data being scraped by KVS... :D:D:D
