Which market? everything been fine for me

98lewisj · Tue Nov 10, 2015 6:42 pm

all, cant get it to retrn calls on BA or other software, also on WIFI and 4g.

Dallas · Tue Nov 10, 2015 6:47 pm

Strange, its not a anti-virus issue or something similar for you is it?
Everything still 100% smooth for me not even a hic-cup

All back now but on both a tablet and a pc (tablet on 4g, PC on wifi) couldn't retrieve any calls. Very strange as no other mentions of an outage on twitter.

marksmeets302 · Wed Nov 11, 2015 8:52 am

no, they only tweet once the outage has been confirmed by 5000 people

I remember reading somewhere on the developers site that they plan on adding a API Status page, I would welcome that!

There used to be service.betfair.com; now this page redirects you to the main page.

Not much good that it did, it only showed there was a problem long after bet angel users had discovered it. This forum topic is more accurate than betfairs service page ever has been!

I am not entirely sure how the betfair backend works but I am fairly sure we have had instances where the website is down but the API is fine.

Are we down?

PeterLe · Tue Nov 17, 2015 1:55 pm

Sorry my error
I was trading on one VPS and it hung, got the message :-

17/11/2015 13:43:13: Market changed to Ling 17th Nov - 13:50 1m2f Hcap
Exception: The operation has timed out

I switched to my other VPS and could see that things wer just fine, strange one that?

(PS: For any newbies; I had matching opposite bets fired in out of the money and take SP running in guardian, so saved a heart attack! )

Good evening,

Apologies for the late notice here however I just wanted to make you aware of a planned outage taking place tomorrow morning.

Whilst the outage will not last the full 45 minutes, we recommend avoiding the web site/ API during this period.

convoysur-2 · Tue Nov 17, 2015 9:43 pm

do we have an idea of the time the outage will happen?
