Using Betfair API with Google App Engine

[Imparior]

Hello!

I'm trying to write a simple betfair application using Google App Engine, but my logon attempt ends up with LOGIN_RESTRICTED_LOCATION error.

Does it mean that google app engine is prohibited to use? Or maybe there is a way to bypass it tampering with ipAddress (and/or locationId) ?

Any suggestions?

The Google Application Engine is connecting to the Betfair API server with a US IP Address and logging in from the US (unless I am wrong) is not allowed.

This problem (and others associated with the inability to know the IP range in advance) forces people to adopt the following approach:

-- Implement the service in the App Engine
-- Proxy requests (obviously over https) to the final destination through another provider (example: Amazon EC2)

Best regards

-- Implement the service in the App Engine

What did you mean?

hm, this hasn't been changed to this date has it? connecting from google appengine apps is not allowed?

using proxy is just too slow i'd guess.

edit: i just tried logging in to betfair and called getAllMarkets from my google appengine app... it worked, so i guess this restriction doenst apply any more? or perhaps it is based on user info instead of ip? i am not an american and have verified my identity, so they know i'm not from USA , could this be it ?

I am still seeing this error.

I can use Google App Engine if I store the session key.

But if I try to use Google App Engine to log in, it fails. Is there a way to get a permanent session key?
