Was LoanBrowseLoans Broken This Morning?

[Rob L]

With all the recent discussions regarding when loan new loan information becomes available I fired up SoapUI 5.0.0 a little before 6am PDT this morning.
It was working a few days ago so I don't think I've done anything wrong. Also GetSystemVersion and OrderGetPortfolios both work fine.
I attempted LoanBrowseLoans and SoapUI locked up. Waited for minutes and no response. I had to log out user (Linux / Ubuntu) just to kill it.
Still appears dead. Anyone else see same?

Sorry, I don't know. But I tried soapUI last week and never could get the credentials in correctly to get anything to work. I got the methods imported OK but always got either no credentials or incorrect credentials errors in every case. soapUI is a large program and and mostly Greek to me.

It's not that bad. You need to add a "Custom HTTP Header" (click on headers for any method, then the little +__  above the box to add).
The header name is: Authorization and the value is your API credential string (from the LC web site click settings at the top and use the API credentials string).
That's it. You have to add this for every method except  SystemGetVersion.
If you need more help PM me or post it here.

PS: Must have been broken this AM since it's working fine now.

Programmatically, if your using Python, to add the authorization header (assuming that you are using the https://pypi.python.org/pypi/suds" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">https://pypi.python.org/pypi/suds package) is as follows:

from suds.client import *
client = Client('https://api.lendingclub.com/ws/1.4?wsdl" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">https://api.lendingclub.com/ws/1.4?wsdl', headers={'Authorization': 'your api key'})
#to get the loans now simply call the appropriate soap method
loans = client.service.LoanBrowseLoans()

I noticed the 10am load was like 2 seconds after the hour. I'm going to have to make an effort to observe what's going on this weekend and adjust things.

My log showed normal activities this morning.  Using the retail browsenotes link, I got the newly-fed loans at around 10:01:00:

Nothing unusual seen here.
Yesterday all four browsenotes csv files with loan updates I saw were at 01:01 past the hour.

[TravelingPennies]

I'm saying the web update was very quick. Not the CSV file.

[TravelingPennies]

I haven't been looking manually and don't have any info on that one.
If correct and consistent this adds insult to injury to 3rd parties and other investors using automation.
Anyone who doesn't know what I mean see the Loan Information Asymmetrical Timing thread:
http://www.lendacademy.com/forum/index.php?topic=2376.0" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">http://www.lendacademy.com/forum/index.php?topic=2376.0
Things may have just gotten much more difficult for automation.

I concur that the web update was faster at 10 and 2 today.  With my kind of filter click it was 8 sec. sooner (00:32 rather than 00:40) than I would have expected at 2/3 here, had I not been forewarned by the 10/11 update which surprised me sooner than that.
