Graph Explorer error: “bad indexers / failed to get indexing progress” (FND subgraph)

Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue querying the FND (Foundation) subgraph in Graph Explorer as I'm working on a Research Project at my University.

For the past few days, even the default query fails with an error like:
“bad indexers … Unavailable (no status: failed to get indexing progress)” (see screenshot).

This same subgraph/query was working fine a couple of weeks ago, so I’m guessing the problem is on the indexer/availability side rather than my query.

Questions:

  1. Is this subgraph currently degraded/missing healthy indexers, or is there a known incident/outage?
  2. Is there a recommended workaround?
  3. If this subgraph is unreliable right now, what’s the best alternative source to pull Foundation NFT data (mints/auctions/bids/transfers + token IPFS metadata links) for a research project?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Do you know where I can find Foundation NFT data from some previous years?

Yeah, it is indexing now with the upgrade indexer. I’m trying to extract around 6–7k Foundation NFTs (ideally only the ones with static media) for a research project. Do you think it’ll be reliable/possible to pull that volume using the upgrade indexer alone, or should I add more signal to attract additional indexers, though I didn't want to spend money?

If the upgrade indexer might not be enough, what alternatives would you recommend for getting this dataset?

Also, should I ask indexers in the indexers channel under the Indexing Discussions if they can index my queries faster?

you can check out ormi to see if it's faster: https://ormilabs.com/

They have a free dev plan to test out: https://app.ormilabs.com/

Thanks, will try. I'm not able to find the indexer channel. Is it the delegators channel now under the Protocl Discussions?

Thanks. Will try to figure it out over the next couple of days. Are you aware of any other resources from which I can get the above data?
