Getting LidarrAPI connection error when looking up music artists

Is anyone else having trouble with their Lidarr setup today? I keep running into problems when trying to find new bands and albums. Every time I search for something, I get this annoying message that says it can’t connect to the LidarrAPI. For example, when I look up “metallica” or any other artist name, it just throws back an error saying the search failed because of API communication issues. I tried checking if the API endpoint is working by going to it directly in my web browser, but that also gives me server errors. This makes me think the problem is not with my local setup but something on their end. Has anyone found a workaround for this or knows when it might be fixed?

I’ve experienced similar frustrations with the Lidarr API. It seems that connection issues crop up sporadically, which can really hinder your ability to find new music. In my case, switching to a different metadata provider helped maintain functionality during these outages. Also, ensure your Lidarr is running the latest version, as updates often address these types of problems. It’s usually a matter of patience as the team resolves the underlying issues.

Indeed, this week has seen quite a few disruptions with the Lidarr API. I recommend checking the Lidarr Discord or their GitHub issues page for updates on the situation. While local issues can sometimes be resolved by clearing your browser cache and restarting Lidarr, the server errors you’re encountering suggest a larger problem on their end. The development team is typically responsive to these outages, but the resolution time can vary based on the severity of the issues they face.

same issue here since yesterday murning. restarted everything but didnt help. musicbrainz is having problems too and lidarr depends on it heavily. best to just wait - these usually get fixed in a day or two.
