Betfair API Down

[Euler]

Seems to be trading pretty well now.

Did Betfair give any explanation as to the root cause of the issue???

[Euler]

A data parameter being set as null was the explanation.

[jonesd4]

Oh.......................the old "data parameter set at null" explanation...............................!!!

We all know that means someone pressed the wrong key............

"in play" then "suspended", then "in play"... I don't understand

[gutuami]

Carl 16:10

[dt888]

About 30 seconds for me

[marko236]

Yes was down 35k was matched as soon as it came back on.

[mcfc1981]

have betfair recently changed the cross matching system??
markets have felt really different the past week or so

since that 30sec outage they seem to have returned to normal

[PeterLe]

have betfair recently changed the cross matching system??

Not that Ive noticed?

[Euler]

I suspect they have tweaked it in the past.

[PeterLe]

I suspect they have tweaked it in the past.

I think they have done it more than once

I was just tidying up my old desktop system whilst I was watching the in play tonight and I came across some screen shots from 2011.
Id have been retired if that had carried on for more more year!
Im almost tempted to just setup a trial tomorrow based on an old strategy
