BETDAQ - BA COM equivalent coding

[grimesy]

I am looking to code my racing bot for use on BETDAQ's website.

I am interested in how the COM properties / events / objects are coded for BETDAQ, vs. the current code I use for communication [via BA's COM] with Betfair API.

For example, below is the standard GRUSS code posted on this forum for grabbing the next UK / IRE horse race on Betfair:-

Sub getNextRace()
Dim sports, sport, Events, evnt, diff, result
If ba Is Nothing Then
Set ba = New BettingAssistantCom.ComClass
End If
sports = ba.getSports()
For Each sport In sports
If sport.sport = "Horse Racing - Todays Card" Then
Events = ba.getEvents(sport.sportId)
For Each evnt In Events
diff = DateDiff("s", Now(), evnt.startTime)
If diff >= 0 And InStr(evnt.eventName, "(") = 0 Then
result = ba.openMarket(evnt.eventId, evnt.exchangeId)
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
Next
End Sub

My question is this - what is the corresponding code for BETDAQ?

Hi,

There isn't corresponding code because our Betdaq version doesn't have a COM interface.

Maybe in the future but no firm plans at this time.

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I can understand your viewpoint at this time.

One for BETDAQ to provide a possible solution to instead, me thinks.

You should still be able to acheive similar things using VBA and the quick pick lists

Does that mean that all the sample triggering spreadsheets e.g.

will work too?

Thanks CS - I am looking to do so.

I raised on a similar thread on this topic in relation to callling the next race [via the Q2 trigger / "-1" inputted into the refresh rate cell on Excel]

No harm in knowing if there's more than one way to do things.

Unfortunately the com stuff goes over my head at the moment, never seem to get time to figure it out

There's quite a few bits of code scattered round the forum on using vba to cycle thru the markets or just move on after certain criteria is met and luckily the Q2 triggers all seem to work fine on the betdaq version also.

I just do most of mine by storing things in variables and then clear the variables and stick -1 in Q2 if all criteria is met.
