New Betfair API Release - Enhanced Suspended Message field - suspendReason

[BetfairDeveloperProgram]

Last week, a new feature was enabled around market suspension, which includes a new field at the market status level.

This optional suspendReason field is returned only for specific types of market suspension.

On the Exchange Stream API, the new field release will be rolled out to all users by the end of August.

This feature is enabled for Football currently and available for the following suspension reasons: Goal, Scout Unavailable, Penalty, Red Card, Non In Play Market.

The Betfair Exchange API returns the field in listMarketBook and listRunnerBook operations, as follows:

"result": [
{
"marketId": "1.183825651",
"isMarketDataDelayed": false,
"status": "SUSPENDED",
"suspendReason": " Red Card",
"betDelay": 0,
"bspReconciled": false,

The Exchange Stream API will return the suspendReason field as part of the Market Subscription update message included as MarketDefinition.suspendReason.The updated Swagger schema is available via https://github.com/betfair/stream-ap...gerSchema.json

Wonderful news!
When to expect that change in the API Visualizer?

Hi shuba,

There are no specific plans to add this field to the API Visualizer UI. However, the field will be returned in the underlying response via the underlying Javascript console when applicable.

Kind Regards
