Aplication Key

[denimen.]

Greetings,

I've recently got the Aplication Key for usage of new Betfair Api...
_________________________________________________
"How to Access

Please use the following Application Key to access the service

something like this: dfdFEEFDffmefke"
_________________________________________________

ok, i've been using soap to get the markets i need but on 82 product ID as a free user..

$global= new SoapClient("https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl");
######################################## LOGIN
$aLogin=$global->login(array('request'=>array('username'=>'denimen'
                           ,'password'=>$password
                           ,'productId'=>82
                           ,'vendorSoftwareId'=>0
                           ,'locationId'=>0
                           ,'ipAddress'=>$ip)));

$token=$aLogin->Result->header->sessionToken; 

When i add 'X-Aplication'=>$appKey I do get the session token, but this 82 to is still confusing to me since i don't know am i still treated as a free user???

Thanks, Denis

You are using login from the old SOAP API6. Why things should be different?
New API has no login method yet

Ok, Im reading this new documentation on new API and i get some errors when trying to get the json file..

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => FALSE,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
    CURLOPT_URL => $url,
    CURLOPT_POST => 1,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
         "X-Application" => $appKey
        ,"X-Authentication" => $token
        ,"Content-type" => "application/json"
    )
)); 

And I get this error: {"detail":{},"faultcode":"Client","faultstring":"D SC-0011"}

Does anyone know what these error code means.?? or do i need to parse something else in the header?

DSC-0011 means that your request's content-type is invalid.
I guess that the values you sent with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS are supposed to be sent with CURLOPT_HEADER

Ok, I'm kind of new to cURL and php in general..

I need some help on this one:

To get the list of competitions for soccer how do i call the link..for eg:

$url="https://beta-api.betfair.com/rest/v1.0/listCompetitions";

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
    CURLOPT_URL => $url,
    CURLOPT_POST => 1,
    CURLOPT_HEADER =>1,
   
   
    
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
         "X-Application" => $appKey
        ,"X-Authentication" => $token
        ,"Content-type" => 'application/json'
    )
));

$file = curl_exec($curl); 

This gets me the certificate error, but when i use CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEE=> FALSE i get other error stating

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 11:39:06 GMT Cache-Control: no-cache Content-Type: application/json Content-Length: 59 nnCoection: close {"detail":{},"faultcode":"Client","faultstring":"D SC-0021"}

All i need is a kick start help to make one call that works so i can move on!!

Thanks, Denis

It seems to be a bug in API.
replace your url with this one:
$url="https://beta-api.betfair.com/rest/v1.0/listCompetitions/";

if you add the "/" at the end of the url, it will work, otherwise it will return a 404

Works:

"curl [url]https://beta-api.betfair.com/rest/v1.0/listCompetitions/[/url]  -k -H"X-Application: xxx" -H"X-Authentication: xxx" -H"Content-type: application/json" --data '{"filter":{ "eventTypeIds" : [1] }}, "id": 1}'"

Not working:

"curl [url]https://beta-api.betfair.com/rest/v1.0/listCompetitions[/url] -k -H"X-Application: xxx" -H"X-Authentication: xxx" -H"Content-type: application/json"  --data '{"filter":{ "eventTypeIds" : [1] }}, "id": 1}'"
