Hi,
I'm seeing some strange behavior when I'm placing orders through the api. Should I report them here at the forum, or do you have a more dedicated place for that?
Thanks

You mean the betfair api? What do you mean by strange behaviour? In any case I'm sure BA will reply to you in due course.BootingTheCompiler wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2024 3:04 pmHi,

It’s the bet angel api. Often if I post several bets through the api on a market added to guardian, Guardian will only show some of the bets. I had one today where betfair shows 12 bets accepted, but guardian reports only 8 and calculates the win/loss based on those 8. As the bets go through it’s not that big of a deal, but it means I wouldn’t want to trust bet angel to calculate a correct green if I needed it.
If you use an API you are at the mercy of the user side software.BootingTheCompiler wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2024 4:21 pmIt’s the bet angel api.

If that's you. Back to the drawing board.
If it's a 3rd party? Good luck.
My experience of of BA is that I can rely on it.

I don't see how it can be the "user side" that's failing, when all of the bets get rooted through to Betfair, but doesn't show in the BA GUI and isn't reported correctly in the win/loss reports. It's not like I suddenly turn around and posts some of the bets directly to Betfair.
When I do use the Betfair API directly, I don't see any of these issues, but I haven't coded a handler for Fill or Kill, so Bet Angle is very handy for placing those bets. Oh, yes, I should say that all of the bets I place use the FillOrKill functionality, so that could be part of the issue.
