calendar/all/shows API mostly returning 504 responses (since 23rd March 2026)

Several times a day I make calls to /calendars/all/shows. For example:

GET https://api.trakt.tv/calendars/all/shows?extended=metadata&counties=us&start_date=2026-03-23&days=4
headers: {"trakt-api-key": "MY_KEY", "trakt-api-version": "2", "content-type": "application/json", "user-agent": "Demeter/0.14.2"}, body: Body(Empty) }

Since Monday 23rd March almost all of these requests have timed out:

2026-03-24T18:59:51.811Z ERROR [restson] server returned "504 Gateway Timeout" error

If I increase the days=X parameter (e.g. to 7) in the request the likelihood of a timeout appears to increase. Just before I've logged this ticket I made 7 calls and only two succeeded.

If you could investigate it would be great. Thanks.

I'm still getting these timeouts consistently throughout the week with no change. The first response from trakt takes too long to respond to Cloudflare... so it returns a 403 to my client.
However, if I try the same call several seconds later it succeeds. Since Cloudflare eventually got the result from the first call and can immediately return the result it cached to my client.

This is still an ongoing issue and is occurring all the time. Any update would be appreciated. Thanks.

It is great that someone has been assigned to look into this. Just wanted to confirm this is still happening consistently, since first observed on Monday 23rd March.

Is this issue only on the all calendar? That call has the potential to return a lot more data since it's looking at all shows. I am investigating a fix, but nothing to report just yet.

Hi Rectifyer, unfortunately I can't provided feedback on the responsiveness of other API calls, since /calendars/all/shows is the only one my application uses.

In the last week I have noticed the API now occasionally succeeds on first call - which is an improvement. But to be clear it still generally fails.
