listEvent method

[DroopyToon]

Hi,

It seems that the listEvent is not returning the orderindex anymore so how do you build the market menu as it looks like on Betfair ?
Besides, I don't get the same result (let's say when I set MarketID=7 as a MarketFilter) as with the old API.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Droopy.

Hi DT ,

reading your post I am assuming that when you write MarketID = 7, you are attempting to restrict the response to Horse racing, if this is the case then there are a few errors:

to restrict the response to horse racing, eventTypeIds needs to be set to "7" and not marketIds

The field names are also case sensitive, so use "eventTypeIds" and "marketIds" instead of "MarketID" (this was a trap I fell into also ).

Another tip that I have picked up from other forum users is to add your Json request/response as it easily highlights the problem area(s)

Hope this is of some help,
cheers Les

I think you are supposed to use the Navigation data for building market menus - see https://api.developer.betfair.com/se...pageId=4392234 for details.

Thank you for the replies.

@ betdynamics, I cannot access the link you provided. I was asked for my credentials and, using the same credentials that allowed me to post on this forum, I couldn't access this page.

@ BigSprout, you are right, I didn't have access to the code when I posted the question.
I was using eventTypeIds.
I sent the following json request:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"SportsAPING/v1.0/listEvents","params":{"filter":{"eventTypeIds":["7"]}},"id":1}

I got the following response:

I was expecting 8 events as with the previous API: "AUS", "Special Bets", "ANTEPOST", ...
Besides, how do you order the display of these results ?

Cheers.

Ah, looks like the link got mangled when I posted it (it works!).

OK thank you for the link.
I saw it but didn't want to use it as I was first mainly interested in Horse events but I might still use it.

I would still be interested in an answer to my post.

[betdynamics]

I don't believe it is possible - that is why you have to use the Navigation data.

[DroopyToon]

This is really poorly documented !
What is the expected JSON result type ?
I see some record with "exchangeId", some without.
