API Inventory Failure 28th Sept about nvidia-sniper HOT 6 CLOSED

What if we gave a useful error message when this happens? For example, we could provide the full traceback and add something like, "This is the expected behavior when the NVIDIA API is down."

from nvidia-sniper.

Perhaps the messaging could change based on if the error is a JSON decode error or an error interpreting valid JSON. One might expect that they likely will not update the API and remove the use of JSON entirely. If they change things, the payload will likely still be JSON, but just have different keys and values. So by detecting invalid JSON, we could be confident that the API is down, and not just changed.

Yeah same

This is expected behavior when the API is down

Might be hard to tell if it's that the api is down or substancially changed? Not a code though lol

As @krcm0209 this behavior is currently expected as the site and API have been down since yesterday.
