A lot of errors today

There WERE problems earlier today - see post from BDP Team elsewhere on the forum.

Thank you both, seems like I should look for an error on my end

My bot works fine today.
Last connection errors happened from 02:57 to 04:27 (GMT +2)

Seems ok to me (for InPlay HorseRacing) ... only 2 roundtrips > 1 sec since the start of racing (14:00), so, in fact, better than usual!

Some very high delays (>10 s) today. Anybody else experiencing this? DDOS attack still not over?

Betfair has been subject to these attacks (massive traffic volumes generated by maverick BotNets) several times in the past. Duration before a solution was found seem to be have been longer this time than hitherto. I logged in successfully at 5.30pm today so you may want to try now

Mike, my program worked whole day, but connection was very unstable.
I just want to have good connection and successfull bets.

Betfair Twitter says they are hit by a DDOS attack which they have not under control.

...

Some years ago i was involved in customer interview and they said they inform the customers better ...

Thanks for your attention.
Hope betfair support will answer soon too.

Betfair Twitter says they are hit by a DDOS attack which they have not under control.

A problem is that they do not really communicate it. An hour ago i thought the have solved the problem and placed a back bet seven minutes before the Off and some seconds later the site was again for minutes down. It seems also that they put no horse racing market inplay which they do not communicate. When you look at the their site there is absolut no warning.

So you should today not trading - only when you are absolut sure that the site works.

Yes - the API is very unstable today.

Thanks for your feedback.
I found out the betfair site is not stable too, it is loaded correctly time to time.

Today my program received a lot of errors, betfair server just didn't response and I missed a lot of info.

According to my logs, the first error appeared at 13:21:31 (GMT +2, summer time), and then repeated more times:
13:21:31 - 13:28:59
13:50:31 - 13:51:34
14:04:21 - 14:14:32
14:15:53 - 14:21:47
.....
15:33:43 - till now

It is NOT permanent error, server responds sometimes.
I had this problem using both LIVE and DELAYED application keys, using 2 different PCs from different locations (IPs).

Did anybody experience such problems today?
