C# API6 Example Aplication (Async)

[wee_mick05]

Hi,

I'm quite a beginner with C# - no educational background in programming but I am usually pretty quick to pick things up when I am making a little progress at a time.

Anyway this example has been very good for me, I have now modified it significantly to perform very useful functions for me. One of the biggest remaining issues left for me is that when i try to place a bet in running the placebet method times out due to the 5-7 second delay.

So a few seconds after it executes this

"CSharpAPI6.betfair.api.exchange.PlaceBetsResp resp = m_simpleAPIWrapper.BFExchangeService.placeBets(req );"

I get an error if there is a bet delay - I imagine this is because it hasn't received resp in the time expected.

Any idea how to set an execution timeout time of about 10 secs on this?

thanks,
Mick

Hi,

Any idea how to set an execution timeout time of about 10 secs on this?

Maybe, the class SimpleAPIWrapper, it has some TimeOut var (millisecond)

Different prices to webpage

When i try to get prices for some markets i get different numbers from what i see on the webpage.
I went through the code and it seems that incorrect prices are returned from api, so does it there is a bug or it is due to limited functionality of Free API?

Thanks

Decided to ask here as well, as spent a lot of time trying to understand this particular issue:
when trying to add GetAccountStatement or GetBetHistory functions to my application i get NullReference Exception on

return simpleAPIWrapper.BFExchangeServiceByExchange(exchangeId).BegingetAccountStatement(request, GetAccountStatementAsyncCallback, myAsyncStateContainer);

Full code of function is:

            string session = SessionTokenManager.GetSessionToken();
            int exchangeId = 0;

            // If no session, log in and get another one
            if (session == null)
            {
                session = MakeSession();
            }

            GetAccountStatementReq request = new GetAccountStatementReq();


            request.header = new BetFairMine.betfair.api.exchange.APIRequestHeader();
            request.header.sessionToken = session;
            request.startRecord = 0;
            request.recordCount = 100;
            request.startDate = DateTime.Parse("2010-03-01");
            request.endDate = DateTime.Parse("2010-04-18");
            request.itemsIncluded = AccountStatementIncludeEnum.ALL;


            //  request.marketId = marketID;

            var myAsyncStateContainer = new CustomAsyncStateContainer(exchangeId, this, new object[] { exchangeId }, DateTime.Now);

and i have the following defined as well :

   private delegate void GetAccountStatementAsyncCallbackDelegate(IAsyncResult result);

        private void GetAccountStatementAsyncCallback(IAsyncResult result)

Is there an example with correct calls for this functionality?

vs2010 async problem

Hi,

Just writing a c# async app within visual studio 2010, actually for the windows phone 7.

When I call loginasync I get a "not found" error, code is :-

//Logon To BetFair Account
BetFairGlobal.LoginReq LoginRequest = new BetFairGlobal.LoginReq();

//Setup Header Info
LoginRequest.productId = 82;
LoginRequest.locationId = 0;
LoginRequest.username = "xxx";
LoginRequest.password = "xxx";
LoginRequest.vendorSoftwareId = 0;

//Create New Login Client
BetFairGlobal.BFGlobalServiceClient myclient = new BetFairGlobal.BFGlobalServiceClient();

//Define New Handler For LoginCompleted
myclient.loginCompleted += new EventHandler<BetFairGlobal.loginCompletedEventArgs >(client_login_loginCompleted);

//Async Call To Betfair - With Unique ID
myclient.loginAsync(LoginRequest, Guid.NewGuid().ToString());


If doesn't get to the callback, I just get an error :-

System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException was unhandled
Message=There was no endpoint listening at https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

Message=The remote server returned an error: NotFound.


Anyone any ideas where to look?

Thanks

Thanks for posting this fix - it saved me a lot of fiddling around.

For those that are unsure what this fixed: Previously, if there were less than 3 back prices the lay prices were being shifted over and shown as back prices.

Hi. I want to get specific information about the market: the graph of the changing prices of Matched bets for current Event( for winning Ivan Dodig on the image):


I didn't how to get it. In ideal case it will be array of matched bets.

And also one question on this subject: how to get array of prices - traded sum( column Traded in betfair site).

Missing Lay prices in football markets

I've noticed that when using API6 and the sample c# app, some of the lay prices are missing when you call GetMarketPrices and GetMarketPricesCompressed.

I examined the returned responses and the prices are not listed which means the API is not sending them.

I've attached example screenshots showing what prices were on the website vs those displayed in the app.

Is this an API bug?


Thanks

Actually

Sometime there is no amount to lay or Back so betfair on website shows Blank Blocks on them

same here but its not sorted .

when you are converting from compressed prices you are ignoring blanks and just showing all prices from runner block 0

sorry for bad English

CSharpAPI6 : getAllMarkets returns null.

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to write a bot that retrieves prices from several currently active markets (active horse-racing markets only). I have been modifying the CSharpAPI6 code which is excellent by the way. Now I am having the following problem:

The function mentioned below (GetAllRaceMarkets), works fine in the beginning for 20-30 calls, but then starts returning null response. I have made sure that I am not crossing the throttle limit (called once every 15 seconds max), but still I have the same issue. Can anyone please tell me what is going wrong?

private CSharpAPI6.betfair.api.exchange.GetAllMarketsResp GetAllRaceMarkets()
        {
            // Get session from session manager
            string session = SessionTokenManager.GetSessionToken();

            // If no session, log in and get another one
            if (session == null)
            {
                session = this.mainForm.MakeSession();
            }

            CSharpAPI6.betfair.api.exchange.GetAllMarketsReq request = new betfair.api.exchange.GetAllMarketsReq();
            request.header = new CSharpAPI6.betfair.api.exchange.APIRequestHeader();
            request.header.sessionToken = session;


            request.eventTypeIds = new int?[1] { 7 };
            request.countries = new string[2] { "GBR", "IRL" };
            request.fromDate = DateTime.Now;
            request.toDate = DateTime.Now.AddHours(12);// AddDays(1);

            try
            {
                CSharpAPI6.betfair.api.exchange.GetAllMarketsResp resp = simpleAPIWrapper.BFExchangeServiceByExchange(GlobalDefs._UK_EXCHANGE_ID).getAllMarkets(request);
                if (resp != null && resp.header != null && resp.header.sessionToken != null)
                    SessionTokenManager.ReturnSessionToken(resp.header.sessionToken);
                return resp;
            }
            catch
            {
                return null;
            }
        }
