  • Accounts control on a betfair aplication

    Hello,

    I am developing a high level API in java with lots of high level functionalities. Basically it is a .JAR file so programmers can build Agents with trading operations easily.

    The work in progress site can be consulted at : www.JBetAPI.com
    Before I make the download and examples available to the public I would like to control the users that can use this .JAR file.

    For now I want to make it free but not open source (the kernel code will be obfuscated). However being free I want to control the users that can use this jar. I would like to know in detail how applications validate the users at the login moment.


    The requirement for users to use JBet API is to be registered in the site forum. (when the login is executed in the JBet .Jar it will access this database… )

    On my API to do the login this is the code:

    Code:
    loginEnv = new LoginEnvironment();
    			
    loginEnv.setUsername(username);
    loginEnv.setPassword(password);
    
    try
    {			
    loginEnv.login();
    ...
    When someone executes the line loginEnv.login() I want to verify on my database if the user is “registered”…

    I think betfair provides some service to help on this validation with "My API Console" service (also because of the security issues..) (?)

    Some example of the information flow for this login verification process wold be nice.

    Best regards,
    Rui

    Ok I saw the link with the steps :



    My case is a bit special because I am not building an application but an API for Java programmers.

    My question is : this kind of project is feasible ?

    With this kind of project the user is a programmer and for example to develop agents the user can write the login/password in its own code ..

    And in this API the user/programmer sets its own refresh rates of the markets in the code... Of course warnings and documentation about charges can be provided..

    If it is impossible to provide this kind of product I would like to know so I give up and do not lose time with it.

    I am available to work with someone of betfair on this product.

    Is there any special contact where I can expose my case ? And provide the source code of My API, with examples of use?

    I have been using my API to test and develop my own agents using swings, scalpings, trailing-stop, dutchings. I have tested a lot all of this trading mechanism, I have implemented, and they now are very resilient. I think it is a boost on the work of someone who is trying to build trading based agent in java.
