Football league matches

[ajw]

How would I go about getting the marketIDs for a particular football league ?

e.g.

https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plu...ompetition/228
https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plu...et/1.150224812

Hi ajw

You'd need to request details of all competitions for football (eventTypeIds 1) using listCompetitions and then make a request using the resulting competitionI'ds to listMarketCatalogue which will return the marketIds, see example below:

listCompetitions

Request

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

Response (snippet)

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":[{"competition":{"id":"2608550","name":"Specials"},"marketCount":2,"competitionRegion":"International"},{"competition":{"id":"88832","name":"International (W)"},"marketCount":149,"competitionRegion":"International"},{"competition":{"id":"42886","name":"English FA Trophy"},"marketCount":50,"competitionRegion":"GBR"},{"competition":{"id":"8312180","name":"UEFA U19 Championship Qualifying"},"marketCount":313,"competitionRegion":"International"},{"competition":{"id":"8580745","name":"Israeli Liga Bet - South A"},"marketCount":50,"competitionRegion":"ISR"},{"competition":{"id":"11463202","name":"Serie C"},"marketCount":33,"competitionRegion":"ITA"},{"competition":{"id":"141","name":"US Major League Soccer"},"marketCount":1,"competitionRegion":"USA"},{"competition":{"id":"13","name":"Brazilian Serie A"},"marketCount":393,"competitionRegion":"BRA"},{"competition":{"id":"4848838","name":"Czech U21"},"marketCount":25,"competitionRegion":"CZE"},{"competition":{"id":"4431442","name":"Algerian Ligue 1"},

Hi

I'm trying to do a similar thing but can't get a valid response for a listMarketCatalogue request. Just looking for any MarketIDs for now and once that's working will filter it down to what I want.

Here's my code:

{
            "jsonrpc": "2.0",
            "method": "SportsAPING/v1.0/listMarketCatalogue",
            "params": {
                "filter": {
                    "eventTypeIds": [
                        "1"
                    ],
                    "marketStartTime": {
                        "from": "2018-11-24T00:00:00Z",
                        "to": "2018-11-30T23:59:00Z"
                    }
                }
            },
            "maxResults": "50",
            "id": 1
        }

If I change listMarketCatalogue to, say, listMarketTypes it works perfectly fine so I'm not sure what I'm missing?

I'm getting urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request in callAping

Hi Chris

The request details look fine so please check the endpoint your sending the request to https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1

[{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "SportsAPING/v1.0/listMarketCatalogue",
    "params": {
        "filter": {
            "eventTypeIds": ["1"],
            "marketStartTime": {
                "from": "2018-11-24T00:00:00Z",
                "to": "2018-11-30T23:45:00Z"
            }
        },
        "maxResults": "50"
    },
    "id": 1
}]

Thanks

Hi Neil

Yes that is the URL I'm sending the request too.

Here is my callAping, which should be fine as like I said it works for other requests e.g. listMarkerTypes

url="https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1"

def callAping(jsonrpc_req):

    try:
        req = urllib.request.Request(url, jsonrpc_req.encode('utf-8'), headers)
        response = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
        jsonResponse = response.read()
        return jsonResponse.decode('utf-8')

    except urllib.error.URLError as e:
        print (e.reason)
        print ('Oops no service available at ' + str(url))
        exit()
    except urllib.error.HTTPError:
        print ('Oops not a valid operation from the service ' + str(url))
        exit()

Note that your request and Neil’s are different, or you can save yourself a lot of effort:

Thanks - have corrected mistake and it now works. Will have a look at your option though as the Betfair API is a bit finicky!
