very slow replies

[gaetanofavoino]

Hi guys, I'm experiencing some very slow replies from api service.

Consider that a few weeks ago everything was ok.

I just tried the listMarketCatalogue call, but it seems very unstable, sometime timeout, sometime fast reply.

this is my code snippet

$obj_filter = (object)array(
    'filter' => (object)array(
        'eventTypeIds' => array_keys(1)  
        , 'marketTypeCodes' => array(
            "CORRECT_SCORE_IT"
            , "MATCH_ODDS"
        )
        , 'marketStartTime' => (object)array(
            'from' => date('c', time()-10800)
            , 'to' => date('c', time()+10800)
        )
    )
    , 'sort' => "FIRST_TO_START"
    , 'maxResults' => 40
    , 'marketProjection' => array(
        "RUNNER_DESCRIPTION", "EVENT", "EVENT_TYPE"
    )
);
$listMarketCatalogue = sportsApingRequest($sessionToken, 'listMarketCatalogue', json_encode($obj_filter));

Do you have hany suggestions?

Last Info: I did the same call from the visualizer, nothing strange happens.

Maybe can affect: I'm calling the API-NG from Italy

Thank you for your help

Given that you are in Italy, is this relevant?

Hi betdynamics, thank you for your reply.
I read the link, but endpoints are the same, the error is not there.

I made some step forward: using the visualizer I intercepted the call to the api, translated to curl is this below:

curl 'https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1' -H 'X-Application: xxxxxxxxxx' -H 'appkey=xxxxxx' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'X-Authentication: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=' --data-binary '[{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "SportsAPING/v1.0/listMarketCatalogue", "params": {"filter":{"eventTypeIds":["1"],"turnInPlayEnabled":true,"marketBettingTypes":["ODDS"],"marketTypeCodes":["CORRECT_SCORE_IT","MATCH_ODDS"],"marketStartTime":{"from":"2015-02-25T09:00:00Z","to":"2015-02-25T12:30:00Z"}},"sort":"FIRST_TO_START","maxResults":"40","marketProjection":["EVENT_TYPE","EVENT","RUNNER_DESCRIPTION"]}, "id": 1}]' --compressed

in my code instead I use the betfair provided code:

function sportsApingRequest($sessionToken, $operation, $params)
{
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'X-Application: ' . APP_KEY,
        'X-Authentication: ' . $sessionToken,
        'Accept: application/json',
        'Content-Type: application/json'
    ));

    $postData =
        '[{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "SportsAPING/v1.0/' . $operation . '", "params" :' . $params . ', "id": 1}]';

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);

    //debug('Post Data: ' . $postData);
    $response = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));
    //debug('Response: ' . json_encode($response));

    curl_close($ch);

    if (isset($response[0]->error)) {
        throw new Exception('Response: ' . json_encode($response)); 
    } else {
        return $response[0]->result;
    }
}

I ported the php-curl call to a cli curl call and the problem is gone!

function sportsApingRequest($appKey, $sessionToken, $operation, $params)
{
	$cmd = "curl 'https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1'"
		." -H 'X-Application: ".APP_KEY."'"
		." -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate'"
		." -H 'Content-Type: application/json'"
		." -H 'Accept: */*'"
		." -H 'X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest'"
		." -H 'Connection: keep-alive'"
		." -H 'X-Authentication: ".$sessionToken."'"
		." --data-binary '[{\"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\", \"method\": \"SportsAPING/v1.0/".$operation."\", \"params\": ".$params.", \"id\": 1}]'"
		." --compressed"
		." -s"
	;
	exec($cmd,$result);
	$reply = json_decode($result[0]);
	return $reply[0]->result;
}

very strange, but the problem now is solved, thank you
