It took a tremendous amount of time, money and resourcefulness from several very talented network and software engineers but I am happy to announce that today we are starting the process of moving over api.pushshift.io to a much larger network with more powerful servers.

The goal for this weekend is to have everything operational and then use this thread for others to mention any problems they are having once we officially flip the switch. For the remainder of 2022 and into 2023, I will be spending much more time on this forum to address user concerns, removal requests and other technical questions about the API.

Many 12 hour days over the past several months have gone into the purchasing and setting up of more powerful servers, getting new firewalls capable of 100Gbps connection speeds and making sure that we have a robust architecture so that we can continue to expand and handle additional load.

The goal for today is to make the official switch to the COLO by 6pm. If there are some issues that crop up, it might get pushed into tomorrow, but we will work as hard as possible to get it resolved and up by later today / early evening.

A huge thanks to everyone including the mods here who have taken the time to help other users -- without your help, a lot of this would not have been possible.

I will make additional updates as needed but expect some outages starting around 3pm. Thank you!

Update: We found a few issues with the blacklist section of the code so we are fixing that and deploying around 4am tomorrow morning (Monday). I'll keep you updated -- we're making sure the switchover is as close to 100% compatible as the existing prod API as possible.
