Shopify internal error: 503

[PTP]

In the Shopify App I built, I occasionally will get the following error: 

HttpInternalError: Shopify internal error: If you report this error, please include this id: 9b8e7a29-87df-4f15-85a4-eb6adc930f7c

Any idea what is causing this?

Hey @PTP 

I checked our logs from the 23rd but could not find anything with that request ID.

503 errors can happen for a variety of reasons, which is why we recommend checking the Shopify status page, limiting your API request rates, and implementing a re-try strategy.

Our dev documentation and API Forum FAQs also have some information on those errors, but if they persist then please send an example of the query that is causing the issue and I'll take another look.

Cheers

Shopify is constantly returning 503 errors for our site and we are not using an API. I see them  every day while in the admin. This is a major issue with Shopify.

Hey @PTP ! 

A 503 error typically means Service Unavailable

The server is currently unavailable. Check the Shopify status page for reported service outages.

Our documentation here covers the various error code you may experience during development: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/response-codes 

If you notice it's a recurring error, it will to reach out to our support teams and share that id along with a timestamp from your request so we can take a look in to our logs and find out why this is happening. 

Hope that helps
