downloadFile issues

[joelpeyton]

Am I being stupid here?

I have downloaded the list of files using curl, see some examples below:

filepaths = [
'/xds_nfs/edp_processed/BASIC/2019/Aug/3/29337686/1.159918711.bz2',
'/xds_nfs/edp_processed/BASIC/2019/Aug/3/29337690/1.159918405.bz2',
'/xds_nfs/edp_processed/BASIC/2019/Aug/3/29337690/1.160967766.bz2',
'/xds_nfs/edp_processed/BASIC/2019/Aug/3/29337692/1.159918303.bz2' .....

then go to download the file as per the examples at https://historicdata.betfair.com/#/apidocs

My python code for doing this is:

import requests

headers = {
    'ssoid': 'MY TOKEN HERE',
}

params = {
    'filePath': "/xds_nfs/edp_processed/BASIC/2019/Aug/3/29337686/1.159918711.bz2",
}

response = requests.get('https://historicdata.betfair.com/api/DownloadFile', params=params, headers=headers)

fw = open('data.bz2', 'wb')
fw.write(response.content)
fw.close()

Yet the bz2 file isn't an archive file, it contains HTML and so not the historical data I was expecting

Hi joelpeyton

Please can you confirm details of the full error message your are receiving?

Its likely that you are hitting the 100 requests in 10 second throttling limit, if for example, you are attempting to downloading 100+ files or more concurrently.

Historical Data API calls are limit to 100 requests in 10 seconds across all endpoints

Kind Regards

Neil

Hi Neil, I've just tried downloading a single file and all is well. I must have been breaching the limits.

Thanks for getting back

From the code snippet you provided, it seems that you have a list of filepaths stored in the filepaths variable. Each filepath represents a specific file that you have downloaded or are planning to download.
