WaitingForActivation

[LankyStreak]

My apologies if this is blindingly obvious but I'm new to API-NG.

I'm experimenting with the new API using a C# application. It logs in okay with a certificate and app key, and the response is SUCCESS with a valid Session Id so I must be doing something right. However. . .

. . . any subsequent calls to the API give a response as follows:
Status = WaitingForActivation
Method = {null}
Result = {Not yet computed}

For example I might request listCurrencyRates for GBP to https://api.betfair.com/exchange/account/json-rpc/v1
but it always returns the same response.

Where am I going wrong? What does WaitingForActivation mean? I can't find it in this forum or the documentation.

That suggests that you are using the Task Parallel Library (TPL) under C#.

The Waiting for Activation status has nothing to do with the API-NG - it is all about the TPL waiting for the task to be initiated.

What code are you using as the basis of the calls you are making?

This might be the case, although I'm not familiar with the TPL. I'm relatively new to C# and am using a library posted on this forum by joelpob and available here: https://github.com/joelpob/betfairng.

It's still an enormous help to understand that it's my client application and not the API that's giving this response. Clearly I have more reading to do, and some tracing of the code in the debugger. Thank you betdynamics.

Just to let you know that I have exactly the same problem with that library, so I would suggest starting somewhere else and coming back to it once you are more familiar with the new API-NG.
