Yep, it's down again. Betfair notice: -

Hi
Have you tried mode 1 (seems fine)?? Do you need the full API?
All mine are running on mode 1 today..(Mind you there are only a handfull of races)
You may need to edit some of your cell commands..but as far as I can tell there are only certain commands /info not available in Mode 1??

I did post a topic on connection modes:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1175

...and have emailed BA support asking the same question...I have suggested to BA support that it may be worthwhile posting the answer on here, so everyone can see...or it could be included in the BA manual...

Regards]
Peter

How do you go about getting to "mode 0" whatever that is?

You can change your connection mode on the login screen, mode 0 is the default.

If you use any non API mode then Bet Angel will always try and get API data if possible from Betfair. But if it is not available it you lose certain features like full market depth.

BA, does this include start times? I wasn't getting those before either so had no countdown :(.

I still don't trust it enough to trade at the moment.
