No response to AdafruitIO_Feed get() request Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

I'm having an issue where I'm not always getting a response to a .get() from a AdafruitIO_Feed type. If I push the value by setting it in a dashboard, I am receiving it in the handler function. But if I try to ask for the value from the server by doing a .get() I don't always get a response.. is there a way I can tell if the server is getting my .get() request? Thanks!

Using the /get/ topic should publish to the feed connected to the get topic. You should see the feed obtain a new message with the last value that was published to that feed on the monitor page (io.adafruit.com/monitor)

From the API Docs (https://io.adafruit.com/api/docs/mqtt.h ... -get-topic)

For example, let's imagine we have a device that subscribes to a counter feed: uname/f/counter. If we want to get the latest value, the /get topic we should publish to is uname/f/counter/get. After connecting to IO, subscribing to uname/f/counter, and publishing to uname/f/counter/get, we will immediately receive a message on our uname/f/counter subscription with the last value that was published to counter.

Are you subscribed to the feed you're attempting to /get? Could you post your code below?

Thanks for the reply.. I think I figured out the issue. When I have back-to-back get() or save() calls, it seems to have issues. But if I do one at a time with a delay it works. I know there's a limit with the free account of 30 data points per minute.. but I'm still only doing a total of 6 calls per minute. But if I do one get() every 20 seconds it works, but if I do 2 get() 's it responds kind of randomly.. failing to respond maybe 2/3 of the time. Is there a limit per second also?

Thanks!

There's no limit per second, both get() and save() are API actions and both actions count towards the IO Free (data/minute) rate limit you mentioned. Could you post your code so I can take a look at it?
