Thanks for the replies Jason and Brendan. I've just found a schoolboy error in my code which was (literally) the source of the problem.<br>Out of interest, the incorrect form of query that my code was generating was of the form:<br>
{"query":{"limit":1,"type" :"/people/person","name":"Samuel Adams","name":null,"id" : null}<br>Regardless of the name sent, this returns Jack Abramoff - well known con artist!!! Curious but surely logical in some way....<br>
<br>Apologies for wasting anyone's time.<br><br>Michael<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/8 Jason Douglas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jason@metaweb.com">jason@metaweb.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
If you hit a rate limit (which is pretty high for reads), you get an<br>
error not bad data. That would be a pretty cruel trick. ;-)<br>
<br>
Can you post an example query?<br>
