ListMarketBook - missing prices

June 15, 2014, 1:39 pm

≫ Next: Navigation data for applications (Beta)

I've noticed that the data returned from ListMarketBook will sometimes have no data in the 'AvailableToLay' section for some soccer match odds markets. It just returns an open and close square bracket where the prices should be. I can understand this being the case where there are no prices available to lay but this is happening on markets that have a full quota of lay prices. Has anyone else noticed this?

For example, Belgium v Russia on 22nd June is returning no lay prices for the home win....

Is there anywhere we can go to check the status of the API NG?

I've been finding a bunch of errors when trying to access racing market ID's recently and am just getting NULL fields returning. It would indicate there's an issue on the API but I can't find anywhere to get that information.

Thanks

≪ Previous: Problem with my request?

Hi all,

I took the C# sample code, extended it a lot (it covers most of the API, minus the vendor stuff right now) and wrapped it in a TPL/Reactive Extensions concurrency model. You have the choice of using just the BetfairClient class to hit the api-ng endpoints, or a Rx.NET subscription model through the MarketListener class.

Library here on Github: https://github.com/joelpob/betfairng

It looks like api-ng will be moving to a pub/sub reactive model (http://forum.bdp.betfair.com/showthr...lish+subscribe), and using MarketListener will set you up very nicely for that.

Happy to take pull requests.

Enjoy.

Hello,

response text: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32602,"message":"DSC-0018"},"id":1}

and, of course, my bet isn't placed.

This is my request:

Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong ?

Hi,

I have executed the Java Json RPC sample for ApiNG. It is running, but I do not get runner Information with listMarketCatalogue, although the sample adds RUNNER_DESCRIPTION to the marketProjection. I wonder why the sample does not add any Information from marketProjection to the params of the request. Is this correct? Did someone get runner Information with the Java sample?

Thanks for any hint.

According to the API, the "sizeCancelled" field in CancelInstructionReport is "Required", but it's not always supplied (e.g. when the cancel fails):

Code:

{

    "status": "FAILURE",

    "errorCode": "BET_ACTION_ERROR",

    "marketId": "1.114434417",

    "instructionReports": [

        {

            "instruction": {

                "betId": "38722401489"

            }

        }

    ]

}

Similarly, CurrentOrderSummary.matchedDate is marked as "required", but it's also sometimes absent (i.e. when the order hasn't been matched!)

cancelOrders and sizeReduction

June 28, 2014, 8:24 am

≫ Next: Need to Build Excel Trigger

≪ Previous: API crashing today ?

When I try to reduce the size of a bet via cancelOrder, it seems that the minimum allowed value for sizeReduction is 2.
When trying to reduce the size of a bet by less than 2, e.g. from 10 to 9 (i.e. sizeReduction=1), it fails with an INVALID_BET_SIZE error. Reducing from 10 to 8 (sizeReduction=2) works.
Is this a bug or the new supposed behaviour? I suppose it should be a bug because I can reduce the bet size by any amount via the web site and the old API as long as the reduced size remains above the minimum stake of 2.

Very low volume with out of line price...

≫ Next: Cancel bet -32602 error

≪ Previous: Storing username and password

I used to notice this occasionally with the old API and ignored it. I would have thought that the new API would address it but obviously not.

Occasionally in a saved timeseries I will see a big peak or trough in a chart. Looking at the figures in a spreadsheet I will see very low volume in the order of pennies at a price that could not have been had in the market.

For example the market my be trending around 3 but you will see that 5.2 was matched for 12p. There is no way that the price could have been matched because there are other prices above and below it. For the same reason it can't be someone greening.

Has anoyone else noticed this and knows what the answer is?

Thanks.

I can't believe it but on a project I have captured erroneous price data

In particular as a Soccer match nears the end of the game, the last few minutes, I am getting a price of 1.02 for 168.77 in the price data returned by GetMarketPricesCompressed

Has anyone else seen this or am I going bonkers once again?

It happens consistently toward the end of a Soccer match. I havent seen this in Horse Racing or Golf.
