Google Rich Snippet Tool Showing Error "Service is currently unavailable"

While testing your site in Google’s Rich Snippet Tool, are you facing any weird errors like, “We are sorry. The service you requested is currently unavailable. Please try again later”? The website which was working perfectly few hours ago, why it has suddenly stopped working in Rich Snippet Tools? All these questions may come into your mind when you would test your site with Google’s new Structured Data Testing Tool. It is not necessary that each and every one would witness this error, but quite a few Bloggers are observing this bug. 

Yesterday, while we were doing some testing on our different websites we came across this bug. While testing our sites in Rich Snippet tool it was giving weird errors that, “Service is unavailable, Try again later”. It was pretty frustrating and confusing. We did lots of research on it but did not find anything suitable. 

After a long and struggling research work, we finally came to know that this error only appears when the Google team is updating the database of your site. It was quite relaxing, but how much time it would take to update? It took almost more than 24 hours to work and thus it started to display all the rich snippets details. If you might face similar sort of error then, there is no need to get worried because it is a temporary glitch in Google’s database.  

However, the only matter of concern is that, while getting this error you probably witness that your newly publish article will not get indexed until or unless you index them through Google Webmaster tools. Since, data update is under process. Therefore, Google bots do not bother to index your new pages. They will keep on crawling your whole website, but would never display its details on the search results until the database update is completed.

If anyone has faced a similar error, then the comment box is all yours feel free to leave your experience about it.
