HTTP 400 error

[Nick JD]

Hi folks. Doing some testing. Can anyone see any reasons why this json request is coming back with a 400 error? I'm stumped.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "SportsAPING/v1.0/placeOrders",
  "params": {
    "marketId": "1.117484605",
    "instructions": [
      {
        "selectionId": "8621877",
        "handicap": "0",
        "side": "BACK",
        "orderType": "LIMIT",
        "limitOrder": {
          "size": "5",
          "price": "3.9",
          "persistenceType": "LAPSE"
        }
      }
    ][
      {
        "selectionId": "8621877",
        "handicap": "0",
        "side": "LAY",
        "orderType": "LIMIT",
        "limitOrder": {
          "size": "5.06",
          "price": "3.85",
          "persistenceType": "LAPSE"
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  "id": 1
}

IMHO you should be looking at the betfair provided error code which will give you more information. See this thread where I attempted to help another user access this.

Note : I have not checked this, just a guess.

Is the formatting of the instructions array correct?

From a first glance it looks like you have too many square brackets.

Shouldn't they be used to surround the whole instructions element rather than individual parts?

i.e. remove the line that says ][ and replace it with a comma

Oops, of course. Double list. Thanks, mate.
