listMarketBook & market start time

[Debcho]

Hello,

Kind of stupid question, but cannot figure it out.

I'm using list of MarketIDs and checking prices with listMarketBook.
And when Marker.Status != OPEN just loading next market.

But is there a way to get market start time?

Also get that listMarketCatalogue do not have MarketProjection.MARKET_START_TIME:

ISet<MarketProjection> marketProjections = new HashSet<MarketProjection>();

                marketProjections.Add(MarketProjection.RUNNER_METADATA);           
//marketProjections.Add(MarketProjection.MARKET_START_TIME);

Any help will be highly appreciated

Hi Debcho,

If you want the market start time, just call listMarketCatalogue with MARKET_START_TIME included in the list for the 'marketProjection' parameter - Note that there is NO 's' on the end of this parameter name, making it inconsistent with most other parameters on the API which require a list.

Hi,

Thank you for your response but

S in the end it's just a name in the app:

ISet<MarketProjection> marketProjection = new HashSet<MarketProjection>();
                marketProjection.Add(MarketProjection.RUNNER_METADATA);
                marketProjection.Add(MarketProjection.MARKET_START_TIME);

And I'm getting

Error 1 'BetfairAPI_NG.TO.MarketProjection' does not contain a definition for 'MARKET_START_TIME'



Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks

Hi,

it looks like an omission in the library you are using; 'MARKET_START_TIME' is definitely in the Enum for MarketProjection at the betfair end. I suspect you are using the C♯ code from betfair, or something derived from it - this is missing 'MARKET_START_TIME' from the enum in MarketProjection.cs - I would suggest getting in touch with the betfair development team and asking them to fix it.

Hi

Should be as simple as just changing code to this

    [JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))]
    public enum MarketProjection
    {
        COMPETITION, EVENT, EVENT_TYPE, MARKET_START_TIME, MARKET_DESCRIPTION, RUNNER_DESCRIPTION, RUNNER_METADATA 
    }

Thank You

I have zero c# & JSON experience, but have a general one.
So after you tell me where is the problem, here is the solution for other people using BG reference code:

Add following in MarketCatalogue.cs:

in public class MarketCatalogue{

        [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "marketStartTime")]
        public string MarketStartTime { get; set; }

and in MarketProjection.cs:

, MARKET_START_TIME in the end, e.g.:

    [JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))]
    public enum MarketProjection
    {
        COMPETITION, EVENT, EVENT_TYPE, MARKET_DESCRIPTION, RUNNER_DESCRIPTION, RUNNER_METADATA, MARKET_START_TIME 
    }
