Linkedin Connection API上的随机内部服务错误

Question

This is my very first question on StackOverflow, but it's always been a very useful source for answers. So I hope someone - hopefully from the Linkedin engineer team as I was redirected here by Linkedin support - will be able to help me. I couldn't find any answer to that subject on the web (Twitter, other StackOverflow questions, and other forums).

So here is the problem : I've been using Linkedin API for two years now to display our users his/her Linkedin connections, and so far I've never had any problem with the following request generated by the simple-linkedin php library :

https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections:(id,first-name,last-name,picture-url,public-profile-url,headline,location:(name))?start=0&count=500

Yet since yesterday, Linkedin started sending to some users a strange error.

<error>
 <status>500</status>
 <timestamp>1424451457253</timestamp>
 <request-id>HISKBDLSOA</request-id>
 <error-code>0</error-code>
 <message>Internal service error</message>
</error>

The error is really random, so it is really hard to reproduce. More and more of our users get the error and it is starting to get critical for our app.

I've read a similar thread regarding the Share API but not about the Connection API? Did anyone already have that error and maybe found a workaround or even better a real solution?

Thanks in advance to anyone who could give me even the beginning of an explanation about what is going on..

我通过减少每次请求的联系数量从500到250再次工作，并进行多轮，直到我得到所有联系人。

https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections:(public-profile-url)?start=0&count=250&modified=updated
