Connection to  api.addons.prestashop.com is very slow, this cause very slow load of Prestashop administration. In our shops its 20sec for first byte.

How can this be done on Prestashop 1.7 ?

if you have root  access to your server you can add following line to /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       api.addons.prestashop.com

that of course applies to Linux/Unix operating systems and is just a temporary workaround - not the permanent solution

today api.addons.prestashop.com is again unavailable - shame on you

Yes, I dit it in this way:

File classes/Tools.php, function addonsRequest.

Adding return false in first line of function. Like this:

public static function addonsRequest($request, $params = array())
{
   return false;
   //...
}
