    What are the request limits

    Hello,

    I wonder what the request limits are for:

    http://docs.developer.betfair.com/do...arketCatalogue
    - listMarketCatalogue

    http://docs.developer.betfair.com/do...listMarketBook
    - listMarketBook

    As I have found on below link, this is said which I understand:
    "sum(Weight) * number market ids must not exceed 200 points per request"

    http://docs.developer.betfair.com/do...Request+Limits



    Perheps the question is how many requests with 200 points that is possible to do for X period of time/second?

    The limit of 200 is for a single call, as you discovered.

    The odds are updated five times a second.

      "Calls to listMarketBook should be made up to a maximum of 5 times per second to a single marketId."

        I found that information too but was not entirely sure, but as I understand then as long as it is different marketIds, it would be possible to for example create more than 5 requests(up to 200 points per request) per second?

          Yes, that is correct.

            Thanks Jabe, I just did a test request to the "listmarketcatalogue"
            and passed on 2 eventids in the filter for: "eventIds"

            Those 2 ids:
            eventid: 27790960
            eventid: 27790893

            I just wonder about this. The response is very big and contains:
            57 marketName
            203 runnerid

            I wonder for this example, how many points does that counts as?
            When I look at this link:
            http://docs.developer.betfair.com/do...Request+Limits

            It says that the weight are counted like this. I am not sure now but aren't 57 + 203 = 260 points or do I miss something?

            MARKET_DESCRIPTION: 1
            RUNNER_METADATA 1

                  Sorry, I didn't see this. I would assume that if you request RUNNER_METADATA for a market, it counts as 1 point, no matter how many runners are involved in the market. That would make 57+57. I may be wrong about that.
