    Anyone please help...

    following is my php code , but I can not see any result.


    index.php
    PHP Code:
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Betfair</title>
    </head>
    <body>

    <?php
    require "api.php";

    $appKey= "my app key";
    $sessionToken="my session";

    echo     getAllEventTypes($appKey, $sessionToken);
    ?>

    api.php
    PHP Code:
    <?

    function sportsApingRequest($appKey, $sessionToken, $operation, $params)
    {
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:',
    'X-Application: ' . $appKey,
    'X-Authentication: ' . $sessionToken,
    'Accept: application/json',
    'Content-Type: application/json'
    ));

    $postData =
    '[{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "SportsAPING/v1.0/' . $operation . '", "params" :' . $params . ', "id": 1}]';

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);

    $response = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));
    curl_close($ch);

    if (isset($response[0]->error)) {
    echo 'Call to api-ng failed: ' . "\n";
    echo 'Response: ' . json_encode($response);
    exit(-1);
    } else {
    return $response;
    }

    }

    function getAllEventTypes($appKey, $sessionToken)
    {
    $jsonResponse = sportsApingRequest($appKey, $sessionToken, 'listEventTypes', '{"filter":{}}');
    return $jsonResponse[0]->result;
    }

    function extractHorseRacingEventTypeId($allEventTypes)
    {
    foreach ($allEventTypes as $eventType) {
    if ($eventType->eventType->name == 'Horse Racing') {
    return $eventType->eventType->id;
    }
    }
    }

    ?>

      Hi You are much more likely to get someone to help you if you post the JSON string you are sending to Betfair, and the JSON string you are getting back.

              Hi

              For your php code to work properly, it needs to construct a data request string that it sends to the Betfair Server, the Server will reply with a different JSON string. Your php code needs to then decode this Json response to give you the data you requested. (Your code has json_encode and json_decode to do these functions)

              To make progress on this you need to look at these Json strings. Two options here

              1) Put some debug code in your PHP App, to print these out.

              or

              2) Download a comms monitor tool such as Fiddler which you can use to inspect the json data flowing in and out of your App

              Option 2 is preferred as you can then be 100% sure what data is going out on the wires.

              Regards

                  Do you have any workable sample for my reference?
                  Maybe help me to get listEventTypes output is enough.
                  Thanks again..

                      Hi

                      I just used the Betfair examples to get mine working, I used C# example though, sorry I dont know PHP.

                      You could also try using the Betfair Visualiser, that is a handy web tool to let you inspect working JSON data and compare to your Json data.

                          hi geoffw123

                          thanks for your reply. I find the bug and already fix the problem.

                          But new problem happens as

                          [{"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32602,"message":"DSC-0018"},"id":1}]

                              Hi geoffw132,

                              From my experience Betfair doesnt change the sport ID's that much so again you should just hardcode them from the Betfair Visualiser to save the number of requests you make. I also suggest using Postman+Betfair Visualiser for easier debug and to get more knowledge about Betfair api itself, but lets get back to your issue:

                              PHP Code:
                              $curl = curl_init();
                              curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
                                                              CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1",
                                                              CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
                                                              CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
                                                              CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
                                                              CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 5,
                                                              CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
                                                              CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
                                                              CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
                                                              CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS =>"[{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "SportsAPING/v1.0/listEventTypes", "params": {"filter":{}}, "id": 1}]",
                                                              CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
                                                                "X-Application:  YOURAPIKEY",
                                                                "X-Authentication:  SESSIONTOKEN",
                                                                "Accept:  application/json",
                                                                "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
                                                              ),
                              ));

                              $response = curl_exec($curl);
                              curl_close($curl);
                              echo                               $response; 
                              Considering you made a successful login request, this should do it for you. If you need a more detailed explanation of Visualiser+Postman usage to make most out of the api, just msg and I will write you a tut for it.
