listMarketBook Get Place Odds not Win

[FWR]

I am attempting to get PLACE ODDS...
All i seem to be able to get is WIN
Following is my Request Line
Dim Gr As String = "{""jsonrpc"": ""2.0"", ""method"":""SportsAPING/v1.0/listMarketBook"",""params"": {""marketIds"":[""1.128511750""], ""marketType"":""PLACE"",""priceProjection"":{""pr iceData"":[""EX_BEST_OFFERS""],""exBestOffersOverrides"":{""bestPricesDepth"":"" 20""}} }, ""id"": 1}]"

I have guessed markettype should work but it does not seem to work and i still get win odds

Really appreciate any help...

I've not been able to check whether the marketId in your call was for a place market, but that is purely what you need to know to get place odds.

I'll back track a little.

If you want to bet on horse racing, the first thing to do each day is a listEvents call with parameters something like this:

"""filter"":{""eventTypeIds"":[""7""],""marketStartTime"":{""from"": """ & date1 & "T00:00:00Z"",""to"":""" & date1 & "T23:59:00Z""},""countryCodes"":[""GB"",""FR"",""IE""]}"

Where date1 is today's date.

This gets you a list of Events (= races) for the day in those countries, and each will have a number of related markets for the event.

For each Event, you need to do a listMarketCatalogue. At this point you specify the marketTypeCodes you want.

This is an example of the parameters for a listMarketCatalogue call:

"listMarketCatalogue", """filter"":{""eventIds"": [" & raceEvent & "],""marketTypeCodes"": [""PLACE""]},""maxResults"": ""10"",""marketProjection"":[""RUNNER_DESCRIPTION"",""MARKET_START_TIME""]"

That'll return you the correct marketId for the place market, and you can use that marketId to get the place odds.

OK Working NOw

I appologise it is now working

The series of races i called for earlier today when loading the program were not "to be placed" ie Place races
There was a large number of races and i only loaded 10 of them !!!

When i called for the races i used
Dim jstring As String = GetMarketCatalogue()
I guess i should have not called all races and only called "PLACE" in GetMarketCatalogue


It caught me out and i panic'd !@!@!@@!

I ran it a few minutes ago and there were a few races "to be placed" and then i realized my mistake.

Sorry for the confusion..
