Unable to place a football bet

These are the error codes available: https://api.developer.betfair.com/se...APINGException

I wonder if your code for catching errors can reveal more detail?

I don't know Python but, looking at your code, it appears that you are wrapping the selectionId in quotes.

SelectionId is a numerical value, not a string value.

Try removing the quotes that you use to wrap the selectionId value when you compose your request.

It's a good idea, though I varied several in that way without it making any difference. I had the handicap as "0", 0, 0.0 and all were accepted in the end. Similar with the marketId, and the size and price of bets.

I wondered whether LAPSE was invalid in play, but it turned out to be okay.

Ok i found the error, there was a ACCESS_DENIED exception and i corrected it!

Now the bet was made but i received this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "soccerbet.py", line 224, in <module>
placeFailingBet(soccerMarketID, soccerSID1)
File "soccerbet.py", line 158, in placeFailingBet
print 'Exception from API-NG' + str(place_order_load['error'])
KeyError: 'error'

Glad to hear your bet was placed.

The key error... is that a Python error? I don't know how Python deals with objects, but I assume

place_order_load['error']

is retrieving something from place_order_load and is unable to. Perhaps there is no 'error' to retrieve? Could place_order_load['error'] be nothing? Guessing though.

Thanks to your support,

Glad to hear it.

Hi, sorry - I re-read your post and changed mine when I realised you still have an error and before I noticed you'd replied to it. I don't know if anything in the changed version might help.
