Historical data available up to 5th October only

[Somethhing]

(I'm currently looking at the basic plan just to get started.)

1. How often are historical data updated? I just started looking at this data and find that soccer only has data up to an including October 5th.

2. Also, I downloaded October yesterday and as mentioned only got up to the 5th. Tried to download today again to see if more days were added. Got the response that I cant download October again. So I'll never be able to download October again later if data is added for the rest of the month?

Hi Somethhing.

Please see answers below:

1. How often are historical data updated? I just started looking at this data and find that soccer only has data up to an including October 5th.

The data for the current month will be provided within 5 days of event settlement. At the moment there's an issue with the October data that we are currently investigating which is why only data up to the 5th October is currently available.

2. Also, I downloaded October yesterday and as mentioned only got up to the 5th. Tried to download today again to see if more days were added. Got the response that I cant download October again. So I'll never be able to download October again later if data is added for the rest of the month?

Once you've purchased a data package, you cannot purchase the same data again. Once purchased you can download the data via the My Data page https://historicdata.betfair.com/#/mydata. The additional data will be available to you via this page once the issue with the October data has been fixed.

I'll let you know once the fix is in place.

Kind Regards

Hi Somethhing

Regarding the October data, the issue was caused by an unexpected problem with the migration of the underlying historical data recorder. Some additional development work is required to fix (backfill) the data and am awaiting for an estimate time but expect this to be complete by ~mid November.

We'll provide an update as soon as we have further info.

Kind Regards
