API-NG Visualiser

[BetfairDeveloperProgram]

Today we have released a visualiser tool for the new Betfair API (API-NG), which you can access at https://api-ng.betstores.com/betting/. This visualiser is used by the API developers to allow quick experimentation with the API. As new features become available in API-NG, our aim is to extend the visualiser to support these new features to help with rapid adoption of the added functionality. Please note that the visualiser is provided as-is, and is intended solely as a testing resource. There are a number of useful features to the visualiser:

• You can login and get a session token to use with API-NG through a simple interface
• All existing API-NG operations are available
• You can easily experiment with the parameters for your query
• You can build sample requests and interact with the API directly (requests and responses are output to the JavaScript debug console) see attached.

listMarketBook

Hi

MIght I ask how to retrive market book with all current bets created by other users of betfair ??


I tried with different options but non of them returning something in bets.

[betdynamics]

Did YOU have any bets on the market?

The API is not going to return any bets that are not related to the account that you are using.

When calling listEventTypes API-NG-Visualiser not visible events Horse Racing - Todays Card.
This type of event in the new api is not?

[betdynamics]

Because "Today's Card" is NOT an event.

If you want to show Today's Card, just retrieve the horse racing events that have a start date equal to today's date.

[clerk]

In the old API "Today's Card" open as the eventType. Thought here is that possible

I have a strange situation occurring. For the following 4 markets:

1.151342310
1.130766060
1.138952650
1.130939030

I can see data correctly in the visualiser, however when I call listMarketProfitAndLoss via the API it returns no data for these markets (and only these markets, I have tried plenty of others and not been able to replicate the issue with any other markets).

I can't figure out why this could be and its really bugging me! Any suggestions?

I haven't used the Visualizer for years. Instead, I added a tab to my program (also VB.NET). However, I've just successfully tried it out with both keys.

That said, I don't understand what you mean about "trying to hook it up to the API-NG on the visualizer". Also get account funds is not an option on the visualizer.

So, here is the visualizer. https://docs.developer.betfair.com/v...ts-operations/

Could you explain step-by-step how you sent your get account funds request?

Also, if you placed the request in a VB.NET program, could you show us the JSON code for the request.

... this is where i obtained the appkey from..... next tab down from "get developer app key" is "getaccountfunds" so after i have obtained my app key I selected get accountfunds, put the app key in the box and the SSOID and pressed execute, this is the JSON code from the google chrome browser:

Response truncated to 4,000 chars:
[{"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32099,"message":"AANGX-0004","data":{"exceptionname":"AccountAPINGExcepti on","AccountAPINGException":{"requestUUID":"null", "errorCode":"INVALID_APP_KEY","errorDetails":""}}} ,"id":1}]

I havent yet been able to connect to my VB program as it seems the APPKEY is invalid

[jabe]

Cheers. I just put the session id in from when I tried it earlier and was able get my account funds.

Did you get two appkeys? I don't know how the payment works. Did you use the test appkey or the live appkey?

The error message does indicate that it's not happy with your appkey. I think you're going to have to go via support.

There are 2 app keys 1.0 Delay and 1.0............... Iv just tried 1.0 Delay and that seems to be working, but the 1.0 is the one I need to be working to develop app... what is the difference between the 2? Thanks

[jabe]

The delayed one is meant to be for program development. Some of the returns take longer. From the FAQs, that can mean anything up to 180 seconds.

Some differences here: https://docs.developer.betfair.com/d...ationKeysUsage

It does mention that the live one is inactive on creation. Perhaps it needs verifiying by a staff person.
