Hi Marc

Can you tell something abozut how the fix for the real time updates of the web services is proceeding?

I just added a new location (http://www.geonames.org/7645522/ibergeregg.html) that still doesn't show up in the web services.

Thanks,
Ingo

The real time update is working fine. However, at the moment the free servers are overloaded with too many requests. We have to change the way the credit limit is working and switch to an application identification instead of counting the credits per ip address to deal with the growing number of smart phone users.

Thank you for answer.

I'm using the paid webservice. The issues started around December 8. The mentioned location (Ibergeregg) still isn't available via the commercial webservice:

Before that, when I corrected a position of a PPL or added a new one then it was immediately available in the WS.

So the overloaded free servers are blocking the functionality of the commercial services?

Hi Ingo

The overload of the free service does not interfere with the premium services.
For the premium services we use the premium data that is released once per month. If you want to access the most recent data then you can access a different server/domain name. I will send you the domain name in a private message.

Best
