Jidging from current prices generally across the board on tonight's football games, the API must still be dodgy, as it would seem that many of the major market makers have not fully re-entered all side markets in particular.

I honestly don't need all these bells and whistles betting the way I do in the markets I do. Positional betting only. Bets usually placed well in advance of the off. No changes in mid stream. But I understand and accept that for many that the API has opened new vistas in betting opportunities. |

Is it working properly yet?
API website still says: The Betfair API is currently still unavailable. Anyone risking using it today? |
|
By:
Still totally unworkable.. Have had to shut down completely.. Programs now bet continuously until the off instead of once! Nightmare.. Could have lost my whole bank(s) if I hadn't spotted it.. Must have screwed up a return code or something..?

I put it on at 11.50 yesterday and it gave wrong information causing me to place multiple bets as well. Managed to just about close the trade manually so didnt coast me much. Turned everything off since.
http://bdp.betfair.com/ says its unavailable http://service.betfair.info/ have taken api off the list of things not working. I wish they would either confirms it all works properly or switch it off. |

All prices look reasonably sane to me now on the football mkts. Manual inspection only. But the usual mkt. makers appear to be back. So I assume the API must thus be OK.

Troubleshooting steps for customers unable to access www.betfair.com after the latest planned maintenance.
1. Restart your browser 2. Flush the Operating System DNS -From the command prompt do the following -IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS 3. Contact your ISP. Please note that some ISP’s may take up to 24 hours or longer to update their DNS records. What the fook did they do to miss the maintenance window by over a day  |

Does anybody else get this message when they try to log in?
loggin inAttempting to login ******* SOAP Fault: (faultcode: HTTP, faultstring: Could not connect to host) This is all I have been getting since 13:20 yesterday. Can't load up Calcodds dot com as no access to markets. |
|
By:
yes unknown host exception for me, think its issue with the wsdls they have.
|
|
By:
Al look here at the bottom
https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl what does it say for soap:address location? |

I see Betfair were quick to deduct the points decay when they got the site working ('ish). Will they be this quick to offer rebates to paying API customers? Any betting?

On the link it shows: https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService I have not got a clue regarding the API - my website is usually very stable until Betfair starts wobbling. If I wait long enough the fault is rectified at Betfair's end - usually. |

I eventually managed to sort out my problems by clearing the cached wsdl files. Dunno what coding you're using but might be as simple as clearing any cached wsdl's I was using php and seems fine now, fingers crossed :)
|
|
By:
yes clearing cached wsdls worked for me to, restarted a few things and its back
|
|
By:
Al that is same as me and its working for me, just a shot in dark. It was different all morning untill clearing cache

Problems now sorted after numerous emails to Betfair my technical man in India. Betfair changed the log-in address without any notification. How can they do that? Calcodds now up-and-running again.

Yesterday API certainly seemed to give errors BUT the bets were taking, so, if whatever you use assumes an error means need to try the same bet again without checking what bets are now there, then you could foresee how that could go wrong.
