Betfair API Down

[hgodden]

A couple of people are saying they have had complete freezes too now so BEWARE!

[Euler]

No seen any problems today at all.

[gutuami]

is this API-NG then

I restarted my pc and could not log in mode 0, only connection 1 worked. A bit strange ..

I was working away this afternoon and checking on my twitter feed about some news out of the US and saw BF was having problems:

I would say it is worth following them if you are trading full time and use the Chrome Browser add on called Tweet Deck and set up a column for something like Betfair API and it will pull in any tweets where the API is mentioned.

It is a really useful feature for example during the Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday have a column for NFP and the second the figure is released you will get it.

A few of us noticed a freeze just before the 3:50 there - tread carefully

[hgodden]

The API just froze for me for at least 20 seconds there. Anyone else?

[walshy]

[hgodden]

RECKON THEY PUT THE WRONG RACE IN PLAY.

wankers

I believe your assumption is true

[Euler]

The wankers or the wrong race in play bit?

[sweetybt]

Well their mistake led to a crazy but profitable pre race market at Kempton so I guess they could be described affable tossers.

Looks like bf or at least sip down this afternoon.

Disrupting my Sunday.

[hhh]

Yeah they said that their UK connection is down.

Bit of a weak link having AUS exchange markets dependant in any tech way to BF UK... unless its something to do with the Sportsbook arm?
