Random 404 errors for people that exist
Recently I've noticed that I will sometimes get a 404 error when searching a player that does exist. The weird thing is that when I search the same player a few minutes later it will work as normal. I can't seem to find a pattern so I'm not sure what it could be.
This may be due to this problem: https://github.com/Electroid/mojang-api/issues/28
If this happens again, try making a request to version 1 of the API and see the error code.

I've been using the v1 API, and I haven't been getting weird 404 errors, but I sometimes get 429 - Too many requests. This is kinda weird to me since I thought this service was caching results and so you wouldn't need to cache the results on your own. It is especially weird to me since I can get a 429 result when my last call was over 30 mins ago...
I have also noticed recently that the restrictions have become a bit strict, with a small number of requests, you can run into rate limit.
I've also noticed that other sites that call the Mojang API are having issues too.
Mojang likes changing things without notice, so I will revisit the caching TTL and fix the miscategorization of the 429 errors. Sorry some of y'all have downgraded to v1 to avoid this; not ideal. Will prioritize this.
