Minter not working

[dlh28]

I've been trying since around 11:00 this morning to mint Organization items (like Prairie Theatre Exchange) via the minter, but it keeps freezing on "Reconciling with Wikidata..." without loading anything and yields an Error 403 error if I try to refresh the page.

Logging in and out of Artsdata and refreshing Wikidata items has not solved the issue.

Update: I tried minting again at 11:00 pm last night and everything was fine (only I had to refresh each Artsdata record after minting because none of the labels or descriptions were carried over from Wikidata the first time). I was able to mint the one remaining PACT member record (Prairie Theatre Exchange) this morning at 11:30 as well –– only the minter was still slow and I still had to refresh the Artsdata record.

@dlh28 The "Error: 403 - Forbidden" and slowness is coming from Wikidata issues. Wikidata has become more strict on which API calls they allow. They are rejecting many of our requests with 403. This can be addressed by following Wikidata guidelines on how to declare a good user-agent when calling their API. Since there are many ways we call Wikidata APIs from Nebula, I need some time to work on this.

In the meantime, I can improve the user experience in Nebula by displaying the Error 403 message immediately without you having to refresh the page. That way you won't have the feeling that it is freezing.
