Race details

[ToffeeDan]

Hi, I've just begun using the API and have managed to cycle through horse racing events and the market catalogue. However I want to have more information about a race, e.g. the following:
2:30 Kempton

At the moment, all I have retrieved is: 2m Hcap Hrd

This is the code I have used:
client.listMarketCatalogue(marketFilter, marketProjections, marketSort, maxResults);

var marketBook = client.listMarketBook(marketIds, priceProjection);

Can somebody please tell me which method I need to call to retrieve more information about a given race? I have the race/market ID of a given race.

Thanks!

Hi

You need to fill in the marketProjection variable that you send to BF for the martketCatalogue request. For example something like this.

ISet<MarketProjection> marketProjections = new HashSet<MarketProjection>();

marketProjections.Add(MarketProjection.COMPETITION );
marketProjections.Add(MarketProjection.MARKET_STAR T_TIME);
marketProjections.Add(MarketProjection.EVENT);
marketProjections.Add(MarketProjection.EVENT_TYPE) ;
marketProjections.Add(MarketProjection.MARKET_DESC RIPTION);
marketProjections.Add(MarketProjection.RUNNER_META DATA);

This will give you a ton of info back for the race. The RUNNER_METADATA in particular gives you stuff like horse form, saddle cloth etc etc.
