ACCESS_DENIED when using the sample code

[m3lis6]

Hello,

I'm trying to run the C# samples provided in the documentation to try out the API. My program works as expected up until the point it tries to place an order, and placeOrders returns an ACCESS_DENIED exception instead of the expected INVALID_BET_SIZE.

Here is my code (mostly copied from the github samples)

var marketFilter = new MarketFilter();

var eventTypes = jsonClient.listEventTypes(marketFilter);
// forming a eventype id set for the eventype id extracted from the result
ISet<string> eventypeIds = new HashSet<string>();
foreach (EventTypeResult eventType in eventTypes)
{
    if (eventType.EventType.Name.Equals("Horse Racing"))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\nFound event type for Horse Racing: " + JsonConvert.Serialize<EventTypeResult>(eventType));
        //extracting eventype id
        eventypeIds.Add(eventType.EventType.Id);
    }
}

//ListMarketCatalogue: Get next available horse races, parameters:
var time = new TimeRange();
time.From = DateTime.Now;
time.To = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);

marketFilter = new MarketFilter();
marketFilter.EventTypeIds = eventypeIds;
marketFilter.MarketStartTime = time;
marketFilter.MarketCountries = new HashSet<string>() { "GB" };
marketFilter.MarketTypeCodes = new HashSet<String>() { "WIN" };

var marketSort = MarketSort.FIRST_TO_START;
var maxResults = "1";

//as an example we requested runner metadata 
ISet<MarketProjection> marketProjections = new HashSet<MarketProjection>();
marketProjections.Add(MarketProjection.RUNNER_METADATA);


Console.WriteLine("\nGetting the next available horse racing market");
var marketCatalogues = jsonClient.listMarketCatalogue(marketFilter, marketProjections, marketSort, maxResults);
//extract the marketId of the next horse race
String marketId = marketCatalogues[0].MarketId;

IList<string> marketIds = new List<string>();
marketIds.Add(marketId);

ISet<PriceData> priceData = new HashSet<PriceData>();
//get all prices from the exchange
priceData.Add(PriceData.EX_BEST_OFFERS);

var priceProjection = new PriceProjection();
priceProjection.PriceData = priceData;

Console.WriteLine("\nGetting prices for market: " + marketId);
var marketBook = jsonClient.listMarketBook(marketIds, priceProjection);

if (marketBook.Count != 0)
{
    //get the first runner from the market
    var runner = marketBook[0].Runners[0];
    Console.WriteLine("\nUsing Runner: " + JsonConvert.Serialize<Runner>(runner));
    var selectionId = runner.SelectionId;
    Console.WriteLine("\nPreparing to place bet on runner with Selection Id: " + selectionId
        + "\nBelonging to marketId: " + marketId
        + "\nBelow minimum betsize and expecting a INVALID_BET_SIZE response");

    IList<PlaceInstruction> placeInstructions = new List<PlaceInstruction>();
    var placeInstruction = new PlaceInstruction();

    placeInstruction.Handicap = 0;
    placeInstruction.Side = Side.BACK;
    placeInstruction.OrderType = OrderType.LIMIT;

    var limitOrder = new LimitOrder();
    limitOrder.PersistenceType = PersistenceType.LAPSE;
    // place a back bet at rediculous odds so it doesn't get matched 
    limitOrder.Price = 1000;
    limitOrder.Size = 0.1; // placing a bet below minimum stake, expecting a error in report

    placeInstruction.LimitOrder = limitOrder;
    placeInstruction.SelectionId = selectionId;
    placeInstructions.Add(placeInstruction);

    var customerRef = "123456";
    [COLOR="Red"][B]var placeExecutionReport = jsonClient.placeOrders(marketId, customerRef, placeInstructions); // Fails here with an ACCESS_DENIED response[/B][/COLOR]

    ExecutionReportErrorCode executionErrorcode = placeExecutionReport.ErrorCode;
    InstructionReportErrorCode instructionErroCode = placeExecutionReport.InstructionReports[0].ErrorCode;
    Console.WriteLine("\nPlaceExecutionReport error code is: " + executionErrorcode
        + "\nInstructionReport error code is: " + instructionErroCode);

    Console.WriteLine("\nDONE!");

    if (executionErrorcode != ExecutionReportErrorCode.BET_ACTION_ERROR && instructionErroCode != InstructionReportErrorCode.INVALID_BET_SIZE)
        Console.ReadLine();
}
else
{
    Console.Write("\nSorry the market has no runner to place a bet on, try again later");
}

Any help appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,

It's written in the code you posted in the following line:

limitOrder.Size = 0.1; // placing a bet below minimum stake, [B]expecting a error in report[/B]

Order Size (Bet Size) must be 2€ minimum (there are other values for other currencies). It's written somewhere in the documentation but im not finding it.

Thank you for your reply. I am aware of the minimum bet size, however I was getting a different error than the expected error.

In any case, I have managed to solve the problem, which was that I was using the delayed app key instead of the normal one
