Comment on Twitter Is Downparent

Comments

I have a cron job to build my site every day at 1200 UTC so that it *will* access the Twitter API, to populate the contents of tweets that my site repros as fully static elements (the cron job is due to occasional glitches in image caching on Twitter’s part). I saw the job had failed but neither the host nor GitHub Actions seemed to be in trouble. Only when I pulled up the log and saw the API call error message did I realize what really was going on.
