Invalid_app_key

[alexb151]

Hi
When trying to access
"https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/rest/v1.0/listEventTypes/"

I'm getting the following response:
{"faultcode":"Client","faultstring":"ANGX-0007","detail":{"APINGException":{"requestUUID":"i e2-ang23a-prd-08050849-0000544470","errorCode":"INVALID_APP_KEY","errorDe tails":""},"exceptionname":"APINGException"}}

Im using exactly the same app key as I used to do the login request and that worked successfully.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex

Code used?

Sorry wasn't sure what to post to start with. Below is login code then API request code

Login code

String urll = "https://identitysso.betfair.com/api/login";
String post_params = "username=********&password=**********";
byte[] postData = post_params.getBytes( StandardCharsets.UTF_8 );
int postDataLength = postData.length;
URL url = new URL( urll );

HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setConnectTimeout(1000*15);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
conn.setRequestProperty("X-Application", application_token);
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", Integer.toString(postDataLength ));
conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Opera/9.80 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6.8; U; fr) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.52");
conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");

try(DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream())) {
wr.write( postData );
}

int response_code = conn.getResponseCode();

if (response_code == 200){

BufferedReader livenminin = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
conn.getInputStream()));

StringBuilder livenminresponse = new StringBuilder();
String livenmininputline;

while ((livenmininputline = livenminin.readLine()) != null)
livenminresponse.append(livenmininputline);

String livenminresult = livenminresponse.toString();
System.out.println(livenminresult);

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(livenminresult);
String token = obj.getString("token");

return token;




API request code


JSONObject post = new JSONObject("{"filter" : { }}");

String urll = "https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/rest/v1.0/listEventTypes/";

byte[] postData = post.toString().getBytes( StandardCharsets.UTF_8 );
int postDataLength = postData.length;
URL url = new URL( urll );

HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setConnectTimeout(1000*15);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("X-Application", application_token);
conn.setRequestProperty("X-Authentication", api_token);
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", Integer.toString(postDataLength ));

try(DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream())) {
wr.write( postData );
}

int response_code = conn.getResponseCode();

if (response_code == 200){

BufferedReader livenminin = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
conn.getInputStream()));

StringBuilder livenminresponse = new StringBuilder();
String livenmininputline;

while ((livenmininputline = livenminin.readLine()) != null)
livenminresponse.append(livenmininputline);

String livenminresult = livenminresponse.toString();
System.out.println(livenminresult);


}
else{System.out.println(response_code);

BufferedReader livenminin = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
conn.getErrorStream()));

StringBuilder livenminresponse = new StringBuilder();
String livenmininputline;

while ((livenmininputline = livenminin.readLine()) != null)
livenminresponse.append(livenmininputline);

String livenminresult = livenminresponse.toString();
System.out.println(livenminresult);

}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}

Fixed it, code was fine, was my stupid mistake. Had copied the live app key rather than delayed. And live wasn't activated.

That is a rather common issue. I have also faced such a situation several times and thanks to my friend who is a developer, this problem has been solved in a few minutes. He has told me that even professionals in their EffectiveSoft company who deals with very hard tasks like software for banks (https://www.effectivesoft.com/softwa..._industry.html) make such common and simple mistakes, that is ok, don't worry
