LIVE ODDS

Gary, I wonder if it's this hot in Greece??

Hotter in Greece, but less humidity.

26 to 32 Celsius for quite some time

A quick update chaps - it's still exactly the same

Do you know if LIVE ODDS can be obtained from any other site apart from Sporting Life please?

[yursaduian]

Is that a No then?

I've changed my example code to handle timed out requests differently. Now it will just use the data from the previous successful call and instead of waiting 5 refreshes of Betfair prices until the next call it will attempt to capture the live shows on the next price refresh. Hope it helps.

Just spotted this; much cleaner than the one I cobbled together to pull in SL Racecard data so I think I'll be using it as a basis for mine to speed up the time it takes to gather data.

I realise Gary's on holiday so I wonder if anyone else has any ideas here but am I correct in thinking that the getPage(strUrl) function can only work with a single URL so if I want to pull data in from both the Live Show and the Racecard I need to replicate this function, rename it to say getCardPage(strUrl) and reference the new function with correct URL?

This far I've edited the getLiveShowURLS to also grab the URL for the Racecard and created a function named getRaceCard which is a replica of the getLiveShowFractional but referencing the liveShowCards(i) url instead of liveShowURLS(i)

I was not able to find any related issue on getLiveShowURLS but have you manage to find a work around on this yet?

[MiniBlueDragon]

Nope; no workaround. I'm just manually using the liveshows when required. :/
