I wouldn't dream of it. You set the bar too low.

It will be a GREAT time.

So it seems that they may have some kind of security or otherwise logic to how often you can poll their order status.

When running my VIN/Order through the API. I get the same Error-101 that @Cbaka27 posted above. But when running @spikerS VIN/Order, it returns no problem. I'm guessing they have a limit to how often you can poll the status and they just return an error if you cross that threshold. I'm going to leave the polling turned off on mine and I'm going to leave it alone to see if it starts working again. In the meantime, I've set @spikerS to poll once an hour. I'm guessing every 5 minutes was too frequent.

Good work on this!!!

Once an hour is probably more reasonable for this type information. It isn't like a news or scoring feed that needs up to the minute refresh.

So my VIN/Order is returning again as of this morning. So I'm going to keep everyone at once an hour polling. No updates on anyones orders as of today. Also now that I'm tracking a few orders the "etastartdate" seems to always been one week (well, six days) before your estimated delivery date. So I think this value can be considered useless.

Thank you! Yes, I think once an hour is reasonable. Given the data. I am a bit disappointed they have such a low limit set on it. But I'm sure they get hundreds of queries per second to this API. So it's expected that they protect it. So once an hour is both reasonable and responsible.

@victimofareload - have you seen this tracker? https://seg.fyi/mache-vin/#/ The front webpage talks about the source code being available so that may be something you are interested in (or could use on your tracker).

And when your run the VIN Details, there is a button at the bottom that allows you to see all the raw details from the API. Just an FYI.

I had not seen that tracker. Thank you! and yes, exactly the same thing. I'm taking that raw data you can see in the API return and stuffing it in a Database. That's where their source code might be useful. But that's the easy part and I already wrote my own before seeing this haha. The harder part is then comparing the new data to existing data to see if something has changed. And then if it has, storing the new data and alerting the user. I've got 3 trucks in the system now and so far it's been working perfectly (Fingers crossed). Thinking about making a post in the ordering/tracking subforum to see if anyone else would like to be added (outside the 8/2 build week thread).

Is this tracker working for anyone today? Hasn't been working for me since yesterday.

It hasn't been working for me since 6:30AM Sunday Morning. But the API is actually returning results. So any of the other trackers should work. They all display the same data. So I wouldn't be too worried about the ford tracker showing something the others don't.

None of the trackers (ford, forum, shop.ford.com nor mach-e) have been working for me since yesterday morning. Every one is reporting errors.

Try leaving them alone for a bit. I think if you query them too frequently causes this. I left mine alone overnight and atleast the raw API is working now. But the ford official tracker still isn't. "System error, try again later".

My thoughts of course are conjecture at best.

My Build Week is set for 9/20. I’m interested in this side project you got going on!

I just checked and it’s working for me. Of course my status wouldn’t have changed though…

FYI - I’m peepin on this thread looking for good news that trucks do actually get made and delivered! Lol Just trying to see how realistic my production and delivery date should be.

That's a big ask, lol, but I did leave it alone all night. I'll try to hold off till this afternoon, but I'm like an addict with this right now given I have an ETA of 8/25 which I assume will be pushed at any moment.
