insufficient privileges

[betanator]

Dear developers,
Am looking to use the placeOrder method of the API NG but am getting an exception as below.

Any suggestions on what may be causing this?
Possibly the application ID? Though I can run the list methods and login ok.

Not sure, it is probably something simple, but am stuck on it!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Request:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "SportsAPING/v1.0/placeOrders", "params": {"marketId":"1.114579553","instructions":[{"selectionId":"699743","handicap":"0","side":"BAC K","orderType":"LIMIT","limitOrder":{"size":"5.0", "price":"2.16","persistenceType":"LAPSE"}}],"customerRef":"testback12"}, "id": 1}
https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/rest/v1.0/placeOrders/{"marketId":"1.114402505","instructions":[{"selectionId":8484249,"side":"BACK","orderType":" LIMIT"," limitOrder":{"persistenceType":"PERSIST","price":3 .6,"size":4.0}}]}

Response:
Exception from API-NG{u'jsonrpc': u'2.0', u'id': 1, u'error': {u'message': u'ANGX-0009', u'code': -32099, u'data': {u'exceptionname': u'APINGException', u'APINGException': {u'errorDetails': u'INSUFFICIENT_PRIVILEGES', u'errorCode': u'SERVICE_BUSY', u'requestUUID': u'prdang004-07021100-001bd33a80'}}}}

If that is the single request string then I'm not sure it makes any sense. It seems to be a mix of RPC and REST.

Why not start with a single bet on a single market?

apologies it should read just as a JSON-RPC request

req = urllib2.Request(url, jsonrpc_req, header)
url = "https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1"
header = {'X-Application': appKey, 'X-Authentication': sessionToken, 'content-type': 'application/json'}

jsonrpc_req:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "SportsAPING/v1.0/placeOrders", "params": {"marketId":"1.114579543","instructions":[{"selectionId":"8669329,"handicap":"0","side":"BAC K","orderType":"LIMIT","limitOrder":{"size":"5.0", "price":"29.0","persistenceType":"LAPSE"}}],"customerRef":"testback12"}, "id": 1}


now the error i receive when trying to call the placeOrders methods is:
no service available at https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1
response code 400 (bad request)?

any ideas?

many thanks

Looks like you are treating some numeric values as strings.

Items like size, price, selectionId, handicap are all numeric and therefore should not be "quoted" in the request.

[Javeid_UK_2.]

Also, what is that decimal value used as market id? It should be an integer.

[betdynamics]

The marketId is correct.

In the new API, all marketIds are strings like "1.xxx" or "2.xxx" where the initial 1 or 2 denotes the exchange that the market is on.

Thanks for the tips and feedback so far, it has helped me work through a few things. After making those adjustments to the request, i now get a response ACCESS_DENIED as below:

Request: {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "SportsAPING/v1.0/placeOrders", "params": {"marketId":"1.113659986","instructions":[{"selectionId":55190,"handicap":0,"side":"BACK","o rderType":"LIMIT","limitOrder":{"size":5.0,"price" :3.2,"persistenceType":"LAPSE"}}],"customerRef":"testback12"}, "id": 1}


Response: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32099,"message":"ANGX-0015","data":{"exceptionname":"APINGException","AP INGException":{"errorDetails":"","errorCode":"ACCE SS_DENIED","requestUUID":"prdang007-07141523-0000319fd8"}}},"id":1}

any direction from here would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

That suggests that you are not sending the correct AppKey in your request header.

[betanator]

Thanks for all the support, have updated the app key and now can run the placeOrders method successfully.

I was using the delay key instead of the normal app key.

Cheers.
