Exchange login problems

[AlgoTrader]

I experience login problems, API returns login is failed and account is closed. Website login also does not work.

What is wrong with auth? I have an account for 10 years and never experienced such problems

Well, I got the answer that my account was closed because of 'commerical usage'. This is certainly error, I never did any commerical usage and never collected any data.

I ask to explain what I did wrong, I had few betting because of debugging my app, but I never violated any rules.

Best regards,
Anton

Good luck with getting it sorted. My prog is hugely complicated and I haven't yet written the parts that place bets.

Hello,

I finally figured out what the problem is. Last two weeks I had lots of debugging with polling prices and without real betting. I used 'virtual bets', the software match bets itself implementing risk-free debugging. I have written Betfair emulator (https://github.com/AlgoTrader/betfair-emulator) that allows make virtual bets without making real bets on exchange.

I think real price skimmers use Streaming API (I use listMarketBook for now) and they have no problems with simulating betting activities.

I have feeling, that the account is possible to unlock. It would be great if Betfair warn when someone use improper API patterns. I look forward for situation to be resolved in positive way.
