Thanks Dallas .. thought I was in some weird sort of Internet vortex !!

[cyxstudio]

is it just me or the API is so damn laggy!! took 7 seconds to cancel a trade

[Naffman]

Archie perkins well worked up

[dragontrades]

Has anyone got the time that the exchange went?

[Euler]

I posted about a minute after streaming stopped, so if you look at that first post on the thread that will be about right.

Went down for me just before the 3:00 jumped as I was trying to place a bet just before the off and got an API error

I seem to have quite a few bets that matched in play (set to keep IP) but the exchange went down pre off.
For example I have a lay matched on 'Lean on Pete' at 3.10 and it was trading above 6 pre off.
Showing as matched at 15:02. Was anyone able to get on in play or were BF hoovering up bets?

[spreadbetting]

Pretty certain I tried to place before the off and it was rejected, that was via my own software not BA, off time at Beverely was 15:00:49. Sometimes the website remains active even when the API is down, dunno if they have a separate access to bet placement.

I didn't have that problem..

Started getting streaming timeout errors at 2018-08-16 13:59:45,113

I'm sure you'll get it back soon enough , LinusP. Do you have logs of your bet times and when the last one was matched?

I use to keep logs of bets but never found any use for them as if it wanted bet data to query with betfair it was just as easy to call up the details with egtBet or whatever the NG API request is now called.

If you have a look on the Betfair down the thread I posted around that it had slowed down then stopped so I was still seeing activity and bets getting matched until then

I've been paid for a lay bet on Co-pilot in the 15:10 that was apparently matched at 15:07 - it wasn't matched before the outage. Maybe the outage only affected external traders.
