Anyone any news on BFSP results service outage

[Fixador]

Has it being discontinued ? Is it a scheduled shutdown ? nothing yesterday, and so far today - nothing

An email to BF yesterday has not eluded a response as yet.

So, am I the only one that uses

Do you mean this?

http://promo.betfair.com/betfairsp/prices/

[alrodopial]

Or if you only want to have a look at sps:

http://form.horseracing.betfair.com/daypage

[Fixador]

no, neither of those - thanks.

I have been accessing a php within that webpage almost since BSP started - darn useful source for end of day tidying up.

Which page are you using

http://promo.betfair.com/betfairsp/Betfairsps.htm

That one works if you just want all sp's .

I've used various pages in the past from grabbing the json fast results feed on http://sports.betfair.com/horseracing/index.html or matching winners from http://rss.betfair.com/RSS.aspx?format= ... ountryID=1 . These days I don't need the details that quick and happy to use the same as alrodopial, http://promo.betfair.com/betfairsp/prices/ and populate a database once a day.

Hi Captain,

That first link you gave - its last update was May 17th

The one I have been using is :-

http://promo.betfair.com/betfairsp/results.html

I have emailed bdp as well now.

Looking into the glass ball - do I see the need for another scraper.... darn.... I'm still 'in counselling' after rebuilding my SpL scraper -durrr !

Actually the above link with .html died 12 months ago, but continued to work with the extension .php ( whatever .php are ! )

They've changed the functionality of the page at https://promo.betfair.com/betfairsp/prices/

Like others here I populate a database with BFSP from data files on this page.

Raised a call with them and will pursue it until they return it to its previous state.

the above was working at about 0930 this morning - but it has gone again

.... just I thought it was time to breathe a sign of relief

[Fixador]

https://promo.betfair.com/betfairsp/results.html

ok from IE9

my Chrome cant get it

CreateObject("WinHTTP.WinHTTPrequest.5.1") gets it - but clunky

have sent a list of pages not available to bdp

The curse of Betfair strikes again : no SP files have been added for a couple of days.

If you use these, please can you raise a support call, because otherwise I'm sure Betfair will sit on the fault for weeks as they did last time this happened?

(I've raised one myself, but feel it will be fixed much faster if they have several support calls for it).
