Login using username and password.

[murrayjhart]

Can anyone help me out with the login process using my own form.

POST Example

Accept: application/json

X-Application: <AppKey>

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

URL endpoint: https://identitysso.betfair.com/api/login

I understand that this is the waty that is is done but unsure about how to do this using c#. I have no experience using cUrl so find the documentation confusing.

Below is a API call i made in a previus application. Can i do the Betfair Login API call in the same way?

HttpWebRequest request =(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://api.football-data.org/v1/soccerseasons/354/fixtures/?matchday=22");
request.Headers.Add("AUTHORIZATION", "Basic YTph");
request.ContentType = "text/html";
request.Method = "GET";
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
StreamReader stream = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
string ResultAsText = stream.ReadToEnd().ToString();

Thanks in advance...

Have a look at this: http://forum.bdp.betfair.com/showthread.php?t=2164

It's close to what I've got in VB.NET.

Yes, for login you use "similar" code, similar in the way you use GET HttpWebRequest.

In your code you redundantly call ToString method as the ReadToEnd actually returns string already.

I use/used api.football-data.org as well, but as the source of data is maybe from Germany there is a problem with data synchronization.

You can see it at the end of my video here:

therefore for automated football strategies I use different source of match feed data.

If you are interested you can use my app for free when fulfilling T&C, so this way you can really spent your time only for bot strategy code development.
