Running the latest version on PLS.
When I run "browse notes" or when PLS runs automatically, the log shows "Invalid API Response." No notes are purchased when PLS runs and when I "browse notes," PLS no longer lists available notes. It just won't complete "browse notes."
I have uninstalled and reinstalled PLS. I've rebooted.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the heads up. I am not sure what is going on. It looks like LC API is not sending back a valid API response. I just ran a quick test of their API manually and the payload is empty:
[1] "{"asOfDate":"2016-03-09T17:12:33.794-08:00"}"
[1] "{"asOfDate":"2016-03-09T17:12:34.898-08:00"}"
[1] "{"asOfDate":"2016-03-09T17:12:36.114-08:00"}"

[1] "{"asOfDate":"2016-03-09T17:12:40.873-08:00"}"
Each of the above JSON API responses should have loan data included in the response. PLS does basic data integrity checks to make sure the API response is valid. Obviously, the response doesn't contain any loan data so it flags as an invalid response. I am not sure when it started but hopefully LC resolves. Unfortunately, I am traveling at the moment and can't have a deeper look.

Thanks for the quick responses. I'm rather technically capable so my brain was multitasking troubleshooting next steps in the background. Now my brain can rest knowing the problem is not on my end.
If misery loves company, I seem to have it with this issue.

I am having a similar problem since I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04. Today I reinstalled my Ubuntu, installed the new Virtualbox and PLS 7 but no change. I am not able to see the list. There is network activity, when I try to run manually, I get this and the log stops there. Any idea what is this and why I am not able to see the list at all?

I have not seen a valid drop in 3-4 days. Including this morning's 6am.
I just tried a manual run again, and get the Invalid API response messages.
Also, when I click on the Browse Notes button, the window never appears, also implying there is is API issue that is happening.
If I can provide any log information to help, let me know.

Sorry for the delay in responding, I have been traveling this past week. I am just now taking a look and looks like I am having the same problem. I noticed that other folks on LA forums are saying that there hasn't been any new notes listed recently?.?. This would cause the issue of PLS reaching the 300 attempts and not detecting new notes list because it has a minimum new note count of 15 threshold (hard coded) which indicates that new notes are listed. In other words, PLS will continually poll LC until it finds a note count of 15+ new notes (from current note count) which indicates that the new batch is available. The reason this is in place is that LC continually adds/removes notes and PLS needs a way to know when new notes have been added (can't rely on timing and there is no field via their API that indicates when new notes have been added). Therefore, an increase of 15 or more notes indicates new list and PLS will start. Since no notes or a few have been added, new loan list never gets detected.
As for the API invalid response, PLS does 3 verifications on the payload of the API response:
* Length of JSON string must be greater than 0 (loan data must be present)
* JSON string must contain a valid field. PLS looks for "pubRec" in header (arbitrarily chosen) to make sure that it contains information relating to loan data (full verification of all fields would take too long)
* Conversion from JSON to table records must complete successfully
In the past, I have seen payload be empty/missing. Likely that these errors were due to some technical issue on LC side since no code has changed on PLS. I don't see the invalid API error in most recent run of PLS but rather the issue of no note list detection.
I am also curious as to why other 3rd party software sites have not reported this API issue (on forum). Anyone reading this use a 3rd party site and seen this behavior? Do they log/post the API responses to their users or hide technical issues? I would assume they are experiencing the same problem as we all connect via the same API.
I will keep an eye on this issue tomorrow and post any new findings.

Just a quick update. Last runs have all processed correctly.
As in, it ran 300 times and stopped since no new loans were available.
I am no longer getting the invalid API response during the drop runs, or via the Browse Loans, so obviously something on LC side that has been remedied.
Now back to the issue of why no new loans in 5 days.....

Thanks, I am seeing the same results on my end.
Now that I am thinking about what is happening, it is likely that LC is sending no data in its API results when no new loans are listed. This results in an invalid API but I should probably label it differently. When coding it, I did not anticipate no data meaning no new loans... However, there are many times where the API payload is empty but there are new loans (I believe it happens when old loans are flushed out of API and new have not been listed). I will probably put an "empty payload" or something on the status versus API error...
Yes, what is the deal with no new loans? I am getting cash drag now and not good....

Hmmm... Do you know how many notes were listed with each batch on fractional? I am not logging that with PLS at the moment. Were there more than 15 new notes per list? Looks like ~165K could be less than that number given max amount of 35K per note. PLS needs 15 notes per list for list detection at the moment. I don't have the time right now to troubleshoot with code unfortunately.

Ugghhhh.. I am not sure what is going with LC APIs at the moment. Usually they fix their issues within a day or so but this has been going on for some time now. I will be able to dig deeper hopefully tonight (I have not had any free time to investigate).
