[LinusP]

Just reached version 1.0 on betfairlightweight, I have added a simple tutorial to help anyone just getting started with the language/API.

Just wondered if anyone could help, iv managed to create a certificate to try and enable me to use LinusP's betfairlightweight however I
am still unable to log in. My certificate seems to have uploaded successfully.

[LinusP]

What's the error / which file did you upload?

[HRacing]

it seemes that i dont have the required .crt file to upload onto my account, i have the other 2 files that are requested but dont seem able to get the .crt file hmmm

[LinusP]

You followed the instructions?

http://docs.developer.betfair.com/docs/ ... t%29+login

[HRacing]

right managed to get .crt file and uploaded to betfair. Ran there sample python code and got a successful log in with session token printed, yay .
However when i come to login via betfairlightweight it still says Exception: Certificate folder not found in /certs/. Be gentle

[LinusP]

Lightweight assumes you have a folder at the top of your c drive /certs, you can either create this folder and place the certs in there or provide the location of your certs to the client:

What version are you running? Betfair recently updated the endpoints.

Hi

I am trying to use this on a Windows 10 machine, i have created a folder C:\certs & put my .crt file in there, however when I run:

trading = betfairlightweight.APIClient(username=my_username,
password=my_password,
app_key=my_app_key,
certs=r'C:\certs')

I get the error:

betfairlightweight.exceptions.APIError: None
Params: None
Exception: Certificate folder not found in C:\certs

Process finished with exit code 1


Find it strange that is says 'Certificate folder not found' any ideas its driving me crazy !?



Cheers
