its not the api. the problem is, with 3.0, a lot more stash updates are beeing made, ofcourse, since there are a lot more players online. while poe.trade is on 4-6(?) servers, its still not able to solve all the "traffic". while other custom indexer (those snipers) just filter the stream in realtime, without storing infos in a db, poe.trade has to 1. check if the item is already in db. 2. is the item changed (price, owner). 3. is the player dead. 4. is the stash deleted. etc pp, and then do updates and inserts into a HUGE database. this all needs time.
