Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[Bet Angel]

Interesting to see how low the volume was when the API first went down.

[hgodden]

The last race volume shot back HUGELY, on every single horse! Don't tell me that was just the betangel guys putting all the extra money through, you must be using gold plated keyboards

[hgodden]

Is it just me or is the API starting to get a bit sticky?

[westgate69]

I agree, this is not my internet connection that is fine. Obviously the API is still having issues.

[Bet Angel]

Be aware, API offline this morning.

[fuzzer54]

Perhaps they'll refund some of our usage charges

[Bet Angel]

It's very, very frustrating. It would be nice if Betfair came out with some specific statement about the problems, as it is we are all in the dark.

Without being too rude Peter, I assumed the Premium Charges they steal from us would go towards providing a better service

[Bet Angel]

We are aware that Betfair read this forum so if you want to offer comments to them I am sure they will see them here.

Betfair service post: -

"We are currently experiencing issues with our API service. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and can assure our customers that this is being treated as the top priority and all available resources are working to restore service"

[Bet Angel]

It's worth firing up two copies of Bet Angel, one in non API mode, mode one and one in your normal mode. Once logged on turn the refresh off on the non API version. If the API starts to exhibit problems, just switch to the non API version.

[Ollie LJ]

How do you open Betangel in non-API mode?

[Ollie LJ]

I've just read the announcement which answers my question.

[andyfuller]

Is it just me or are the responses really slow?

[SpikeyBob]

whoah, pretty laggy for me, looks like a crash is possible today
