Unable to Download Results of a Finished Asynchronous Conversion

Aspose.Slides Cloud Product Family

I have a service that uses Aspose Cloud REST API to convert PPTX files to series of SVG pictures.
The workflow is:

  1. PUT https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/slides/storage/file/<file name>
  2. POST https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/slides/async/<file name>/Svg
  3. Poll for status using GET https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/slides/async/<operation ID> until status changes to one of the final ones (Finished, Failed or Canceled).
  4. If the operation is finished, download the results: GET https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/slides/async/<operation ID>/result

That worked fine for some time, but recently 30-50% of conversions started to fail at the last step. The API returns status “Finished” at the step 3 but then an attempt to download results fails with 400 status and the following body:

{
  "requestId": "689bb73d-b39c-4efe-9d36-a71beb3e9da2",
  "error": {
    "code": "UnexpectedObjectType",
    "message": "Operation is not finished",
    "description": "The object type is different from the expected",
    "dateTime": "2024-10-11T16:32:49.5567638Z"
  }
}

This looks like an API bug to me because the result usually becomes available in awhile after the failure.
Has anyone else encounter this?

The issue appears to be fixed. It looks like it was an infrastructure bug. Could you please test the problem on your end?
