Salesforce API throwing error some times while creating accounts:-> Error: Invalid URI "/services/data/v36.0/sobjects/Account"

Question

We get this error from salesforce (in the sandbox environment) erratically while creating new accounts. Sometimes the account gets created successfully and at other times we get this error:

[Error: Invalid URI "/services/data/v36.0/sobjects/Account"]

We are using jsforce (node.js).

Any ideas why this could be happening? Has anyone else encountered this. I remember this working just fine when I first wrote the code a few months ago.

It's not with our data, because sometimes the request has succeeded with the same exact data and at other times it has failed.

Relevant code snippet:

var orgInfo = { Name: 'Test 28 Org',
  Phone: '1111111111',
  POC_First_Name__c: 'test',
  POC_Last_Name__c: '28',
  BillingStreet: '123 Main St',
  BillingCity: 'Fayetteville',
  BillingState: 'GA',
  BillingPostalCode: '30215',
  BillingCountry: 'United States',
  ShippingStreet: '123 Main St',
  ShippingCity: 'Fayetteville',
  ShippingState: 'GA',
  ShippingPostalCode: '30215',
  ShippingCountry: 'United States',
  Preferred_Method_of_Payment__c: 'Purchase Order' }

conn.sobject('Account').create(orgInfo, function(err, res) {
            if (err || !res.success) { return winston.error('Error occurred during SF account creation ', err, res); }



            // internal code 

        });

That said, the answer from Santosh Kumar does seem to apply here due to the following issue with the jsforce library: https://github.com/jsforce/jsforce/issues/188

Per Santosh's answer in stackoverflow:

Make sure you add two extra lines of code in the node_modules of jsforce's connection.js javascript.:

this.signedRequest = options.signedRequest && parseSignedRequest(options.signedRequest);
  if (this.signedRequest) {
    this.accessToken = this.signedRequest.client.oauthToken;
  ==>  this.version = this.signedRequest.context.environment.version.api || defaults.version;
  ==>  this.instanceUrl = this.signedRequest.client.instanceUrl || this.instanceUrl;
  }
