https://data.mtgox.com/api/1/BTCUSD/trades?since=
         


        

Answer 1

For what it's worth, I was experiencing the same issues with timeouts every time I used it, even though calls went through to the server I was calling. The problem in my case was that I had Expect set to application/json, when that wasn't what the server was returning.
