Downloading Betting History From Betfair > 1000 trades
Hi i raised this yesterday. They are making changes to all the downloads. I've asked the helpdesk to increase from 1000 records because i'm sure it's an oversight, but.....More people asking of course, more chance of it getting changed.

This is total insanity, who thought this was a good idea?
Probably after the lockdown and reduction in business different parts of the business will be looked at in more detail.
I think before the end of the year there will be other changes that do not benefit the customer, but do benefit the bottom line.

Might be linked somehow to the impeding transaction count rules change? But if you're doing a significant amount it's easier to just get them to send you it. Tbf it used to crash before if you had a lot of transactions, I couldn't get a transaction report online that was over about 80k transactions which is only about 3 weeks work for me.

It used to max out at around 30000 records, but 1k is a joke. I do a daily download to reconcile my p+l and update my database. Surely it's more work and effort for them to send me that each day/week than for me to download it myself. And actually if i now have to download ten different csv files for each day, surely that places a greater load on their website than downloading one file. Makes no sense.

Do you have any info on this please?
I did a quick Google search, but couldn't find anything.
Thanks

Thanks. I have asked via a twitter DM where the BF help didn't know about any changes and via the contact us chat. Ill hold off writing something to download half a day at a time..deestar wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 12:51 pmHi i raised this yesterday. They are making changes to all the downloads.

Response on twitter DM, "Unfortunately, this is an unavoidable change that has happened as a result of the release of the new betting history page. It is due to a limitation in the Exchange API, which the team is now looking at improving to enable more than 1000 records to load. In the meantime, the customer can access beyond 1000 records by 1) navigating to the last page/1000th record 2) clicking the next page from there." - The workaround is not practical but at least they are looking into it.
