Has anyone else gotten an API error in the past three days? It looks like the Solax Cloud API has been down since Friday.
Yes, same here. The server responds with an exception:
The server is busy. Please try again later!

Thanks for confirming.
Very flaky API. Definitely not to be recommended. Put uptime graphs on it about 24 days ago:
It’s been OK for me since March 7 00:58 UTC.
Hello,
Somebody has a problem with API?
Today, I can’t get information from the API cloud, only for every 1 hour.
Everything was working fine until yesterday.
When I paste the API link to the browser, I got this:
{“exception”:“The overrun has been disabled for 1 hour!”,“success”:false}
Can you confirm that there is a problem on Solax cloud or on my side?
Ok, it seems like the problem with API.
Now, everything is working again 
OK… I found api strong etc… so far so good.
I have added the modified script to scripts.yaml ? and restarted HA… now what?
just add the newly created sensors to the dashboard
All the numbers of blank and i get
“{“exception”:“The overrun has been disabled for 1 hour!”,“success”:false}”
have disabled HA for a while… see if it it some kind of flood protection
it does work now and then
{“success”:true,“exception”:“Query success!”,“result”:{“inverterSN”:“Hxxxxxxxxxxx”,“sn”:“SVxxxxxxxxxxxxx”,“acpower”:893.0,“yieldtoday”:10.4,“yieldtotal”:132.2,“feedinpower”:0.0,“feedinenergy”:1.8,“consumeenergy”:118.7,“feedinpowerM2”:0.0,“soc”:59.0,“peps1”:0.0,“peps2”:null,“peps3”:null,“inverterType”:“15”,“inverterStatus”:“102”,“uploadTime”:“2023-03-17 15:27:26”,“batPower”:-118.0,“powerdc1”:329.0,“powerdc2”:463.0,“powerdc3”:null,“powerdc4”:null,“batStatus”:“0”}}
I had the same problem with the cloud API not sending data. Mostly it was due to to much requests from my HA and Solax APP (when not at home I use the app more frequent). Seems like sharing the same API.
Thats why I switched over to the API localy, over the wifi stick. It took some configuration and trial by error bot got it working and it is much more stable and with much more frequent data (every 5 to 10 seconds is possible). It is worth the extra trouble to get out of the cloud API from Solax.

Could someone help me please I’m new to this and trying to edit my yaml sensor file and get this message, I must be doing something very simple wrong but I can’t work out what. Thanks
hey
it s the same for me when i put the code in configuration.yaml
the code is ok when it s separated
i have an other problem with the sensor:
anithing in entity to choice the solax or pv_sensor for add carte in dashboard
the code seems good
hey
my problem is whith the add sensor
anithing in entity to choice the solax or pv_sensor for add carte in dashboard
the code seems good
do you know this problem
I’ve found this thread invaluable and, with a little tweaking, I have all of the data I need and fed into the Energy dashboard.
Importantly, the code below grabs everything in a single API call, so you don’t get rate-limited by Solax like I was:

is it still working?
I’m getting “HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error” when opening my API url in any browser 
2 days ago had the same problem, then they recover. From yesterday afternoon I get the same error.
It’s on their side, not sure what they are doing.
Just as an update, I reviewed the API again.
The API documentation is now at 6.1 and the only API still available is getRealtimeInfo.
The script from @andmcg is still working, but more advanced things can be reviewed here:
Witam. U mnie wszystko działa. Czy istnieje możliwość pokazania wykresów w inny sposób. Jakaś ładniejsza grafika.
pozdr.
