MixPanel API error: Expired request about mixpanel-engage-query HOT 5 CLOSED

The expire parameter is used to authenticate your request and is set here to UTC time in seconds plus 60 seconds:
https://github.com/stpe/mixpanel-engage-query/blob/master/engage.js#L123

As documented here in the Mixpanel API:
https://mixpanel.com/docs/api-documentation/data-export-api#auth-implementation

Your request shouldn't expire if your internal clock is in sync, but try changing the 60 seconds to something more to give more margin for error.

Let me know if you get it to work. Thanks.

Weird, seem to be resolved, I am running it from a virtual machine, and I was not on my network, maybe something funky occurred, anyway seems to be working fine ATM.

Thanks!

I had this issue just now as well on Mac OS X: my clock seems to be slower than real time.
Click on Clock on menu bar "Open Date & Time Preferences..." and then your clock gets synced to Internet Time (it should do that the whole time, but for some reason, it doesn't).

After that, no error.

Thanks for the tip @godspeedelbow!

Maybe worth to add the expire variable as a parameter in case of situations like this (and if there is a need to construct URLs with another expire period using the --url parameter), hmm...

For anyone finding this issue. Another quick way to update the internal clock is, using Terminal:

ntpdate -s pool.ntp.org
