<p>IMHO I would 1st verify that you are actually generating the same
query (and the one your expect) with wireshark (running the app in
the emulator) and that what is happening is actually a time out.
It seems really really really unlikely to me that you are running
in to the rate limiting. <br>

<p>2x2km can naturally be a lot of data, in particular if you have
largish relations in the area (even if you are not downloading all
the members).</p>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Hi,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
Currently experiencing some inconsistent behaviour with the
API in which fetching via the browser gives a response,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">but my own app
('MapThePaths', part of a project intended to help map
footpaths and edit designation tags in the UK) frequently
hangs waiting for a response.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">MapThePaths uses the
osmapi (Tobias Zwick) to fetch data.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Is there any reason
currently why the API might be responding to standard web
browsers but not custom apps?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">FWIW my app should be
reporting itself as "MapThePaths Android app" and I have
just (around 16:35-16:40 UK time) made three unsuccessful
requests with the bbox:
<span> -0.7295872761598865,51.09355911139382,-0.7005316007485753,51.11122494429744.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>Sometimes,
however, my app is retrieving data from OSM successfully
(perhaps 60-70% of the time).</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>No exception is
thrown - just looks like a timeout.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>I also observed
similar behaviour 'in the field' yesterday afternoon when
I was using the app in the countryside. The app could talk
to my own API on mapthepaths.org.uk successfully but could
not communicate with the OSM API.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>Is this simply
related to the issues with the OSM API at the moment
related to moving to another server?<br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span><br>
