Max listMarketBook calls per second (different market IDs)?
NON-streaming API question:
I know there's a 200 "point" limit on each individual listMarketBook call and that calls to listMarketBook for the SAME market ID should be limited to 5/second.
But what about calls to listMarketBook for DIFFERENT sets of market ids? In theory, (not waiting for API responses but picking them up separately whenever they arrive), I could generate 1000's per second but I am guessing that would potentially not be acceptable. Ignoring limitations my end on processing power/bandwidth, what is the acceptable number of listMarketBook calls I will be able to make without my feed being throttled or my access stopped, (as I have potential strategies that could look at every market in several sports at the same time)?
At the moment I'm developing my 'bots with the non-streaming API because I don't have access yet to the streaming version but I still want to test my strategies before switching to live so want to know where the acceptable limits are. Ideally I'd just use the streaming API from the start (which sounds like it would cut the need for all the API requests) but Betfair told me, (when I filled in the form to request streaming API access), that I have to develop first using the delayed key non-streaming API, hence my question.
Thank you.
