Confusion over API/Documentation

[DrKanye]

Hello

I am very new to the betfair api. So far i've had some success in getting the information I need. However I have reached a stumbling block!

I googled around for a way to find out a list of "market types". For example PLACE or WIN market. This forum directed me to this page:

https://api.developer.betfair.com/se...istMarketTypes

This implies that there is a function somewhere inside of the C# API which I can use to find this information out. However, The code located here:

https://github.com/betfair/API-NG-sa...sample-code/TO

Which I have used as my "API. Does not contain this function.

What am I missing?

Alternatively if somebody could tell me what the extra place market MarketTypeCode is?

Ive tried

EXTRA_PLACE
4_PLACES
3_PLACES

You can use the Betting API Visualiser to get this information.

Just run listMarketTypes with an Event Type Id of 7 (horse racing) and it will give you a list of all of the different market types.

Thank you bet dynamics! This helped. Unfortunately it displays the following:

EACH_WAY
PLACE
WIN
ANTEPOST_WIN
SPECIAL
STEWARDS
RACE_WIN_DIST


There is no information about the EXTRA PLACE market ?

I think you might be referring to OTHER_PLACE.

Depends when you run the visualiser as it will return data for current markets only.

As zoltanthemage says, I think you are looking for the OTHER_PLACE market type.
