API Changes - calling ba.getAllTradedVolume

[grimesy]

Gary,

My robot was working fine until the BF API change from last Thursday.

Now, I cannot call "ba.getAllTradedVolume" to scrape the BF ladder.

I have re-installed both 66x85 and the 9c versions, but to no avail.

Pulling my hair out with this - my bots will now not run!

Can you please advise a potential solution ASAP?

I've tried your workaround on the "API Error" thread from over the weekend, without success.

Further update:

My problem is basically a 'Runtime 429' issue relating to the COM automation errors.

Any thoughts as to how I can use the link attached to resolve?

Thanks

Two hours later and it appears it is my firewall settings that have caused this issue.

No idea as to why they have changed since I last logged-in on Wednesday, bur remarkedably stupid of me to have not twigged beforehand.

This might be a daft idea but is it possible that a windows update could have affected the firewall settings?

Good shout - it has triggered something from last week.

I always use McAfee for my anti-virus protection.

I did however have an update pending from Window's Defender last week, so also ran that AFTER running my daily McAfee checks.

I didn't expect it to change the firewall settings given the daily check deems GRUSS to be no threat.

Anyone else experience anything similar?

A few days ago some things changed in my pc also, power option plan enabled, taskbar tumbnails preview etc.
I don't know why this happened.
