What has happened?

[JayBee]

I stopped coding for a few months and now I return and nothing works!

I appreciate that there is a new API but I thought the old one would work in parallel.

I used the tutorial in the .NET section to build a program a few years ago and now not even the login works so my programs won't work.

Can someone direct me to where I need to read up on what has changed so that I can modify my code?

Thanks!

Here is my old code...

'Login
Dim oLoginReq As New BFGlobal.LoginReq
Dim oLoginResp As BFGlobal.LoginResp
With oLoginReq
.username = "username"
.password = "password"
.productId = 82 'For free API
End With
Print("*** Login ***")
oLoginResp = BetfairGL.login(oLoginReq) 'Call the API
With oLoginResp
CheckHeader(.header)
Print("Login ErrorCode = " & .errorCode.ToString)
End With

I just get "API_ERROR" returned. There is more than £10 in my account.

I believe that having a funded account is not enough.
I think that you need to a have a bet placed in the last x days/months to be able to use the API.

Is that new?

Because a month ago the program worked and I haven't placed a bet for over a year.

Has the old API changed recently? Or maybe the login in particular.

I have no idea then...
It is working for me using a java client.

Take a look at this thread: https://forum.bdp.betfair.com/showthread.php?t=1812
Probably this is a different problem as that user was able to login.
