PHP - problem with sample script

[pukkafish]

Hi,

I've managed to create an app and I can get my token, but run into problem when trying the sample codes using PHP.

1-

<?php

ob_start();
$sessionToken = getACookie();
ob_end_clean();

echo $sessionToken;

function getACookie(){
    
    $loginEndpoint= "https://identitysso.betfair.com/api/login";
    
    $cookie = "";
    
    $username = "myusername";
    $password = "mypassword";

    
    $login = "true";
    $redirectmethod = "POST";
    $product = "home.betfair.int";
    $url = "https://www.betfair.com/";

    $fields = array
        (
            'username' => urlencode($username),
            'password' => urlencode($password),
            'login' => urlencode($login),
            'redirectmethod' => urlencode($redirectmethod),
            'product' => urlencode($product),
            'url' => urlencode($url)
        );

    //open connection
    $ch = curl_init($loginEndpoint);
    //url-ify the data for the POST
    $counter = 0;
    $fields_string = "&";
    
    foreach($fields as $key=>$value) 
        { 
            if ($counter > 0) 
                {
                    $fields_string .= '&';
                }
            $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value; 
            $counter++;
        }

    rtrim($fields_string,'&');

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $loginEndpoint);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);  // DO  RETURN HTTP HEADERS
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);  // DO RETURN THE CONTENTS OF THE CALL

    //execute post

    $result = curl_exec($ch);


    echo $result;

    if($result == false) 
        {
                echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch);
        } 
    
    else 
        {
            $temp = explode(";", $result);
            $result = $temp[0];
            
            $end = strlen($result);
            $start = strpos($result, 'ssoid=');
            $start = $start + 6;
        
            $cookie = substr($result, $start, $end);
                        
        }
    curl_close($ch);
    
    return $cookie;
}

function sportsApingRequest($appKey, $sessionToken, $operation, $params)
{
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://beta-api.betfair.com/rest/v1/$operation/");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'X-Application: ' . $appKey,
        'X-Authentication: ' . $sessionToken,
        'Accept: application/json',
        'Content-Type: application/json'
    ));
 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);
 
    $response = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));
 
    $http_status = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    curl_close($ch);
 
    if ($http_status == 200) {
        return $response;
    } else {
        echo 'Call to api-ng failed: ' . "\n";
        echo  'Response: ' . json_encode($response);
        exit(-1);
    }
}



 
function getAllEventTypes($appKey, $sessionToken)
{
 
    $jsonResponse = sportsApingRequest($appKey, $sessionToken, 'listEventTypes', '{"filter":{}}');
 
    return $jsonResponse[0]->result;
}
 
function extractHorseRacingEventTypeId($allEventTypes)
{
    foreach ($allEventTypes as $eventType) {
        if ($eventType->eventType->name == 'Horse Racing') {
            return $eventType->eventType->id;
        }
    }
}




//echo getAllEventTypes('Yr69P8uXBTYjI2S7', $cookie);
echo getAllEventTypes('aK4fhFsx3z0bswsq', $cookie);


echo extractHorseRacingEventTypeId(getAllEventTypes('aK4fhFsx3z0bswsq', $cookie));


?>

I have the following result:

Any idea?

Thank you

In your first sample .php you are using REST (as opposed to RPC), and recently all calls to the REST API were chenged to require a slash '/' at the end of the end of all operation names.

Try changing:

 $jsonResponse = sportsApingRequest($appKey, $sessionToken, 'listEventTypes', '{"filter":{}}');

to  $jsonResponse = sportsApingRequest($appKey, $sessionToken, 'listEventTypes/', '{"filter":{}}');

dunno about your second script because in that one you appear to be using RPC.

[gus]

Ooops, sorry, scrub that. I see you're adding a slash where you have:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://beta-api.betfair.com/rest/v1/$operation/");

[gus]

But you seem to be calling the beta api, and I'm not sure that still works

here's a script that does work, tho all it does is get the eventId for Horse Racing.
assuming you have the script (and json.php) in a directory called c:\php then usage is:

c:\php>php callbf.php Username Password

<?php

require_once("json.php");
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$sessionToken = "";
$thisPage = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$appKey = "YOUR_APPKEY";

$username = $argv[1];
$password = $argv[2];
$option = "0";



ob_start();
$sessionToken = getACookie($username, $password);
ob_end_clean();

if($sessionToken === "")
	{
		echo  "We had a problem Logging on to the Betfair API\r\n";
		echo "Please Try again in a few moments.";
	}
	
else
	{
		echo "Cookie: ".$sessionToken."\r\n";
		
		while($option != "2")
			{
				echo "\r\n";
				echo "1. Get Horse Racing eventId\r\n";
				
				echo "2. Exit\r\n";
		
				$option = read_stdin();
				
				if($option == "1")
					echo "Horse Racing: ".extractHorseRacingEventTypeId(getAllEventTypes($appKey, $sessionToken));
				
				
				
				elseif($option == "2")
					exit(-1);
					
					
				else
					{
						echo "No Option ".$option;
						exit(-1);
					}
				}
	}
	




	
function getACookie($username, $password){
	
	$loginEndpoint= "https://identitysso.betfair.com/api/login";

@gus Thanks for the code. Working well. Now I need to get the non runners for a race horse!

Hi there

Using the code above with code below added.

I get the following error:

Call to api-ng failed:
Response: {"detail":{},"faultcode":"Client","faultstring":"D SC-0021"}

$horseRacingEventTypeId = 7;

$nextHorseRacingMarket = getNextUkHorseRacingMarket($appKey, $sessionToken, $horseRacingEventTypeId);

function getNextUkHorseRacingMarket($appKey, $sessionToken, $horseRacingEventTypeId)
{

    $params = '{"filter":{"eventTypeIds":["' . $horseRacingEventTypeId . '"],
              "marketCountries":["GB"],
              "marketTypeCodes":["WIN"],
              "marketStartTime":{"from":"' . date('c') . '"}},
              "sort":"FIRST_TO_START",
              "maxResults":"1",
              "marketProjection":["RUNNER_DESCRIPTION"]}';
	
    $jsonResponse = sportsApingRequest($appKey, $sessionToken, 'listMarketCatalogue', $params);

    return $jsonResponse;
	//return $jsonResponse[0]->result[0];
}

params = {"filter":{"eventTypeIds":["7"], "marketCountries":["GB"], "marketTypeCodes":["WIN"], "marketStartTime":{"from":"2014-10-01T15:31:00+00:00"}}, "sort":"FIRST_TO_START", "maxResults":"1", "marketProjection":["RUNNER_DESCRIPTION"]}

These Params seem to produce results in the Visualiser if I am replicating it correctly.

Any ideas?

[RicHep365]

Ok, solved it.

Was a missing "/" after listMarketCatalogue...Doh...!!

$jsonResponse = sportsApingRequest($appKey, $sessionToken, 'listMarketCatalogue/', $params);
